Exploring Prayer sessions are
being held on Wednesdays 7.30pm in the vicarage.
These sessions last around
an hour. We will explore a variety of different ways of approaching prayer. The
second session will be held this week…. All are welcome!
If you are interested in
being Confirmed in July (24th)
please give your name to Edith or Ruth.
There are many adults in our congregations who are regular attenders……is
this going to be the year you take this step?
Family Social evening Saturday April 16th - come along and help make this a real parish
event. Bring your own food and drink. Entry is free, but get tickets from Laura
or Karen so we know how many are coming! See poster for details.
Next Sunday there will be
a short PCC meeting to approve the accounts ready for Annual Parish Meeting. This will be in St Thomas Church straight after the
service.
There are sheets at the
back of both churches for your nominations for Wardens and PCC members,
together with sheets for sidepeople to sign.
Tickets
are now on sale for the Big Band Gala
Night on the 2nd July. £10 adults, £5 children (although probably only
suitable for older children}, includes buffet supper. From the 20th April any
tickets remaining will be made available through "Churches Together",
and later to the general public, so to avoid disappointment it's best to buy
your tickets early. There will only be 120 tickets in total because of the
seating capacity at St. Edward's Hall, so if you are unable to come because of
other commitments please don't buy a ticket as we would love to have a
"full house" on the night. However, if you wish to support the event
in another way, donations of cash or raffle prizes will be gratefully received.
The
development group are pleased to announce that the work will begin in the next
few days. Getting together enough money for the installation of the toilet and
kitchen hasn’t been easy. It has taken a good deal of work in applying for
grants, and your donations and pledges have been vital. However, we are only
just able to afford the basic work, assuming no other hitches, and more will be
needed for the finishing off work!
