PARISH NEWS
TODAY
Rev Joe Swift will be presiding at todays service.
TODAY—PARISH COUNT/FAIRER SHARE
Could every adult here today please help—The diocese requires each church to take a count of its congregation over 5 Sundays beginning today, these figures are then used to calculate what each church has to pay to the Diocese as its “share”. Please help by filling out the small church attendance survey. Thank you for your help. If you need help please ask one of the churchwardens, Dave or Sam.
LAWNMOWERThe parish lawn mower has ground to a halt. Has anyone got the maintenance skills to overhaul it, it would be easier on parish funds if we do not have to take the machine to a specialist firm. If you can help, please see Father Stephen.
P.C.C. MEETING
The next P.C.C. Meeting will be held on Thursday 12th May beginning with a service of Holy Communion at 7pm followed by the meeting at 7.30pm in church.
FROG RACING
A fun evening of Frog Racing with a ploughman’s supper will take place in the centre on Saturday 14th May between 6.30pm-9.30pm. Tickets are available from John Kilminster, Pam Christy, Richard Gibbs, Joyce Lavender, Roy Barker or Clair Pay at £4.50 for adults and £3.50 for children.
