Hope Street is the show which zooms in on the compelling drama of everyday life of all of us and asks: where does our hope come from?

Through a series of extraordinary stories told in extraordinary ways... colourful, hilarious, moving and unforgettable, Hope Street gets close-up and personal. Five multi-talented young performers, telling other people’s stories and sometimes their own, aim to stop you in your tracks, turn things round and take you down their street to the junction of life and faith.

Riding Lights Roughshod have years of experience taking their brand of high energy performance to all kinds of places where live theatre is rare. In schools, prisons, churches, civic halls and theatres, young people (as well as the young at heart) have loved coming together to chuckle and cheer, to snivel and sigh and generally get things into a more eternal perspective.

So, if you’re hoping for something illuminating, funny and vivacious to provide an accessible meeting point for all kinds of people in your community, Hope Street is absolutely the place to go.

A tasty blend of grit, giggles and grandeur that gets to grips with the real stuff of life and what’s beyond

four hymns and the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis to sing as well as join in with the said passages. The congregation is small but regular and it would be so good if more people came along to ensure that this old traditional service can continue to be conducted in our Church.

150th ANNIVERSARY
On 28th October 2009, St Jude's Church will be 150 years old. To celebrate this anniversary throughout 2009, there will be regular events of many kinds. The celebrations have been launched with a special calendar featuring some spectacular photographs of places of significance in and around Englefield Green. These calendars which will make excellent Christmas presents for family and friends, are available for you buy at £6 each from the Church. We now also have celebration mugs on sale.

Details of the concerts recitals may be found on a link from the home page.

PICTORIAL EXHIBITIONS
As from Saturday 31st January, there will be pictorial exhibitions at St Jude's on Saturday afternoons, with reproductions of documents and historic images illustrating events and personalities in the life of the church and the parish over the past 150 years. These will change from time to time during the year. Some of them may need the help of the public in identifying people shown in them, so we hope for your contributions!

SUMMER FAIR - CHANGE OF DATE
The Summer Fair 2009 will take place on the grass around the Church on Saturday 18th July. The change of date is because a wedding has been booked on Saturday 11th July. Following the planning meeting for the Summer Fair (last Thursday) Sue Kensey will be asking you to follow to organise/assist on the various stalls. At this point the most important volunteer is someone to take on the Grand Draw.

ANNUAL MEETINGS
On Sunday 24th April, we held two important meetings in the Church. At the Annual Vestry Meeting, Louise Bunce and Brian Summers were elected as our Churchwardens for the year.

At the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, we were able to hear reports on various aspects of the Church's year including our finances and the condition of the church building. We elected Guy Bunce, Liz Hopkins and Andrew Sheer to the Church Council and took the opportunity to say thank you to those who worked so hard during the previous year.

ALPHA COURSE
Following a successful Alpha course, which offered teaching on the basics of the Christian faith, we are offering an additional 6 week course entitled 'God is closer than you think'. This is available to everybody regardless of whether you attended 'Alpha'. Each session will involve watching a 15 minute DVD talk followed by time for informal discussion over coffee and cake in small groups. The course begins on Tuesday 12th May and there are two session times: 2pm at 12 Larksfield and 7.30pm in St Jude's Church. For more information and to book a place phone Roy on 435602.

STAMPS
Rita Berry on 433560 would be pleased to hear from anyone who collects stamps for a charity.

METHODIST BUILDING
Please note that the Methodist Church in Victoria Street is now called The Village Centre.
