Dear Friends,

There will be a Discussion/Study group starting on Tuesday 19th March at 19.30 in the Church Hall where we will be taking a closer look at the Communion Service.

We will be using the Methodist publication, Share the Feast to provide discussion points.

I would encourage as many people as possible to come along.

Kind regards,

Mary

News:

World Day of Prayer: Thanks to all those who participated in and attended this enspiring Service “designed” by the ladies in Slovenia. £137.20 was donated for the World Day of Prayer Fund. . Crisp Packets: There is now a box for crisp packet recycling in the front porch. Foil crisp packets of any brand can be put there instead of putting them in landfill. They will be sent off for recycling once we have around 400 packets (but if one of the local schools starts collecting we can contribute to their collection instead).
