Liz Dent’s latest
publication –a Guide to St Thomas’
Church is now available(£2.50). This
is a very interesting guide to what is in the church. We plan an open morning
in May when you can come along and explore our church with the book as a guide.
We hope to have St Thomas church open regularly on Tuesday and
Saturday mornings, so people can drop in, look around, pray or just sit. For
this to happen, we need volunteers to sit in church (Could be in the back room
!) Can you help with this? Can you spare an hour now and again? See Edith or
sign the list please.
Confirmation. Now is a good time for adults who have not been
confirmed and children in Year 6 or above to think about Confirmation. Classes
will begin soon after Easter in preparation for the Confirmation service on
Sunday July 9th. More details later, but if you are interested please
give your name to Edith.
Our Annual Church Meeting is onApril 23rd, following a
parish service at St Thomas. At this meeting we elect Wardens and PCC members.
Could you please begin to think about your role in the life of our church with
this in mind. If you live in our parish (or attend regularly) and are 16 or
over you should be on the Electoral roll.
If you aren’t please complete a simple form so you can be added.
Now we are in Lent there
are no flowers in church. Looking
forward donations towards the flowers for Easter at St Thomas would be
gratefully received by Audrey or Lesley. At St Agnes would people please
volunteer to provide flowers by adding their names to the list.
