What is happening at Christ Church and beyond
Date for your Diary: 15th-17th May. Church Weekend @ Home!

Urgently Needed Please: volunteers to help with locking up the building at the end of the day Mondays to Saturdays. There is a very reliable team of people who are on a rota to lock the building at around 10.00 pm after all the hirers have left. Unfortunately, for various reasons some people have had to step down. This means that the remaining volunteers are having to come more often. If you can help with this very important role, please can you email me at centre@ccbedford.org to find out more. If this is not something you can do very often, an offer to help one or two evenings a month would be most welcome. Many thanks, Dawn.
Lent Course: Continues Wednesday 11th March 8pm in the church. We will be looking at Jesus in different spaces as we journey together to Holy Week, using material from Tom Wright’s book “Lent and Easter for Everyone”, (this week: Jesus among Friends). Please do join us in person or online – we will be livestreaming (or you can always watch later) on the Christ Church Bedford YouTube channell.

Go4Gold Soup and Social: Friday 13th March @ 12.45pm. There will be a choice of soups, bread rolls, cheese, yoghurts and fruit for a suggested donation of £2pp. This will be followed by a social in the Hub from 2-3.15pm (suggested donation £1pp). No booking is needed, you are welcome, just turn up to one or both events.
Men’s Social: Come and see the Bedford Blues at Goldington Rd on Saturday 21st March. Kick off at 3pm vs Nottingham. Please purchase your own ticket online and congregate at the ground between the main entrance and the stand. Pre drink at the Three Cups on Newnham St from 1pm for those that wish to join us. Hope to see you there.
Men’s Away Day – Save the Date: After a successful men’s weekend away in October last year a venue has been booked for a men’s away day on Saturday 26th September 2026. Further details will follow, but put the date in your diary now. Cost will be in the region of £20, but will be confirmed later. Hope you can join us for the away day.
Plant Sale: Saturday 9th May. Last year lots of people requested vegetable and herbs plants so please sow lots of these. Please sow and divide lots of flowers/shrubs/trees etc too. If you need, there are some plant pots at the top of the Vicarage driveway.
