Lent Extra Booklets

These contain daily reflections for use during Lent and were popular last year. Available in the Narthex, they cost £1.50.

Foodbank

During Lent, the children at school are making a special effort to bring in items for the Foodbank. Could we possibly do the same? The Collection Point is in the Church entrance. Many thanks. Jim and Sue Saunders.

Church Electoral Roll

The new electoral roll has been prepared and is displayed in Church for two weeks from today. Please could you check your record and inform me of any mistakes. Thank you. Sonia Tipper.

The Village Quiz

A most successful and enjoyable evening. We raised £752.70p, which is a wonderful result, almost £100 more than last year. Congratulations to the winning team of Neil and Debbie Summersgill, and Geoff and Jill Glover. The Social Committee thanks Fr. Roland and everyone who helped and supported the event, enabling us to make such a generous donation to the Church.

If you wish to contribute anything to the notices please send an email to Chris Davis at chrisdavis256@gmail.com by Thursday evening.
