There is a Book of Condolence in Gosberton Parish Church just inside the main doors, for anyone to write a message or memory in. There are also candles you can light and an area to leave any floral tributes. The book will be left in the church until after the funeral has taken place and will then be sent to Buckingham Palace.

The church is open every day from 10am to 4pm.

A Fresh Look at the Gospel
The message of the Christian gospel is very simple, but
the Bible is a long and complicated book. What does it
actually say about God and how we can interact with
him? What does it mean to live a Christian life?
St Peter and St Paul’s, Gosberton, St Gilbert and St
Hugh’s, Gosberton Clough, and St Margaret’s,
Quadring are jointly holding regular discussions about
what the message of the Bible really means. They are
based around questions rather than answers, allowing
freedom to explore.

The series will begin on Thursday 3rd September in St
Gilbert and St Hugh’s church hall, Gosberton Clough.
Everyone welcome! Light refreshments provided.

Eugene Peterson writes:
In the life of faith each person discovers all the elements of a
unique and original adventure. We are prevented from
following in another’s footsteps and are called into
incomparable association with Christ. The Bible makes it clear
that every time that there is a story of faith it is completely
original. God’s creative genius is endless.
That is the journey that each one of us is on and these six weeks
are about exploring that journey.
We are going to look at a range of Bible verses and use those as
a basis for discussing what actually is the good news of Jesus
Christ, and then how we can be more effective in playing a part
in God’s Kingdom, both individually and as a church.
Starts Thursday 3rd September at 7 pm, but if you arrive a few
minutes early you can pick up a cup of tea or coffee.
Bring a Bible if you have one that you like to use at home and
a pen.

You may or may not be aware that we have been trying to get mains water, a disabled toilet and baby changing unit plus a kitchen area installed inside St Margaret's Church, Quadring.

The first stage of this is to get the water mains connected. We paid Anglian Water the connection charge just before lockdown and approached Lincs Pumps and Pipelines to help us with the tricky part of the water main trench which needs to be dug so that it runs parallel to the school fence out to the road where it will be connected to the mains water supply.

The Community Workforce Team were booked to dig the trench from the church gates to the church porch (with help from local man Jim who has a small digger). Unfortunately, the community Workforce Team are not able to get a sufficient number of people to the churchyard to do this now because of having to socially distance in the van that brings them. So this appeal is to ask for help in getting the ditch dug by local volunteers.

Most of the work will be done by the digger, but we need a team of people to make sure the ditch is deep enough, to do a bit of hand digging where the digger can't get to, and to help leave the site neat and tidy once the pipe is laid.

I have attached a copy of the churchyard plan showing the route of the pipe from the church gates to the porch plus a couple of pictures. Ignore the rose bushes in the pictures, they will be replaced once the pipe has been laid.

Is there anyone out there who would like to help? If so, please contact Debbie at the Vicarage on 01775 840694.

We are hoping work can start on 17th August, I will confirm to anyone who volunteers what the definite date for this will be as soon as I can.

Many thanks!

Debbie Reynolds
Parish Administrator.

A huge thank you to Greenyard of Pinchbeck for the fruit they are supplying us for all our families. It is great that they are supporting our local communities so well. We packed 18 bags and grocery boxes this morning. We even had some plums and pears leftover for Gosberton nursing home. They are having plum crumble tonight! Contact the vicar, Ian Walters on (01775) 840694 for all enquiries regarding help for the Foodbank.
