those who have paid for the year. Please tick off your name when you take
yours. New subscribers can pay £4 to secure their copy for the year. Paying
annually is a great help as we can’t afford to order more than we are sure of

the month 10am till noon. The first will be this Tuesday. All Welcome
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.
Annual Church Meeting is onApril 23rd,

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.
