A very big thank you to every­one who came to assist in the East­er pre­par­a­tions and to Andy who always makes everything just hap­pen so won­der­fully.  To those who helped with vacu­um clean­ing, dust­ing, glass clean­ing and the car­park — thank you, your help was invaluable!

 

Many thanks to all those who con­trib­uted so gen­er­ously to the beau­ti­ful flowers for East­er Morn­ing.  They gave to the church a look of beauty and a joy­ful feel, help­ing every­one cel­eb­rate the Day of Resurrection.

 

Thank you also to those who con­trib­uted to the shared lunch on East­er Day.

Volun­teers Required: We are cur­rently look­ing for more people to be wel­comers on a Sunday morn­ing; duties are:-

* to be here at church by 9 a.m.;
* to wel­come every­one and give out the pew booklets;

* to par­tic­u­larly wel­come any vis­it­ors and get their names (if pos­sible) to give to the Rector;

* to per­suade parish­ion­ers to take their book­lets home with them and col­lect the remainder and place them in the hall foyer.

We are also cur­rently look­ing for more people to serve morn­ing tea; it does not need to be a feast!  A cup of tea and a bis­cuit or cake is plenty.

So please see one of the war­dens if you are avail­able to help with wel­com­ing or hospitality.
