Prayer shawls bring the wearer warmth and affection both in times of sorrow and in times of celebration. They make ideal gifts for comforting and celebrating important stages in life.

The making of a prayer shawl is a spiritual practice which embodies our thoughts and prayers for the receiver. It is a gift made in prayer and freely given. The shawls are passed on hand-to-hand and heart-to-heart.

Prayer shawls are prayerfully and lovingly knitted, sometimes with a person in mind or as part of a supply when a need is identified. They can be given to people who are ill, hurting or in a time of transition.

We have given them to people following ~ bereavement ~ during illness ~ to new students ~ for new beginnings ~ to new mums ~ going through a tough time ~ just because.

If you would like more information or if there is someone you would like to give a prayer shawl to, please let me know. They do not need to be a member of this or any other church. Saskia On behalf of the knitting ministry at St. Bart’s

 Electoral Roll – Revision 2021
It’s that time again – the Electoral roll of St Bartholomew’s and St Anne’s is being revised before the APCM.
The church electoral roll is not just a list of people who worship at St Bart’s & St Anne’s; it's a register of people who want to take an active part in the running of their church.

So, before the APCM is held, we want to give you all a little nudge to get yourselves onto the roll, so you can take an active part in the discussions and decisions made about your church, with your money and on your behalf.

If you are already on the roll you don’t need to do anything unless you have changed any of your details, like your address or name.  If you are not on the roll and would like to be please contact the Parish Office who will be able send you a form electronically or arrange for one to come out to you.

The roll will be open for revision on Sunday 14th March and all forms will need to be returned to the church by Sunday 4th April when the roll will be closed.
