Easter is such a special time and our lovely part of the world really springs (no pun intended) to life during this period, doesn’t it? Sadly, I was unable to attend the service on the Knoll on Palm Sunday but I’ve heard from many of you who enjoyed it that the bracing walk to the top was well worth the effort! Our next Emmaus course will be starting on Thursday 1st May at 2.30pm. Sadly this will be the last which our own Rev Andrew will be taking before he and Julie leave us in August. It goes without saying that all are welcome. And a reminder that our Spring “Bring and buy” coffee morning will be held on Saturday 3rd May from 10.30am onwards. This precedes our church anniversary on Sunday 4th May, where we will be enjoying a shared lunch after the service. Again, a warm welcome is assured to all as we enjoy our fellowship within the village. God bless. Rosemary Krull Preachers for May at 10.30am 4th May : Rev Andrew Biggs (Holy Communion and Church Anniversary) 11th May : Local Arrangement 18th May : Rev Stephen Marr 25th May : Janice Barret Toddlers It is lovely welcoming everyone back for the Summer Term. The Easter Egg trail around the village was great fun and it was super to see the Toddlers’ egg display covered in your beautiful paintings. Well done everyone - your art work was much admired. We have been given some fabulous toys, building bricks and an amazing car track, so a big ‘thank you’ to Jackie, Fred and Ali. Your kind generosity will be appreciated and enjoyed by lots of children. Just a reminder: No Toddlers on Tuesday 27th May (half-term). Back on Tuesday 3rd June.

Somebody got angry because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, But Nobody realised that Somebody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when actually Nobody asked Anybody.

Owen J Cullwick, [email protected] Sowing the Seeds of Respect As World War One raged on the battlefields of Europe, bright red poppies appeared where the fighting had disturbed the dormant poppy seeds in the ground. Since then, the poppy has become the internationally recognised symbol of Remembrance. To commemorate the Centenary of the start of WWI on 4th August, the Royal British Legion has suggested that we can all do our bit by planting poppy seeds in our gardens, window-boxes and pots by the end of May, so that they will flower by early August, producing a sea of poppies in our communities. The seeds must not be planted near agricultural land or sites of scientific interest. If you purchase the seeds from B&Q, then £1 from each packet will be donated to the Royal British Legion (Charity no. 219279).
