St Edward the Confessor
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Let the name of Jesus cling to your breath
and you will know the meaning of stillness.
St John Climacus
FLOWERS: If you would like to donate flowers for the Easter service, in
memory of someone, please contact Anne McEndoo.
THE GARDEN GANG starts back from 30th March, Monday afternoons,
2-4pm (except on Bank Holidays and when it rains). Volunteers always
welcome. – There’s usually a cup of tea about 3pm to encourage you.
Christian Aid Week 2015 10th-16th May 2015: In the May copy of ‘The
Porch’ and at the back of church you will find a Christian Aid appeal envelope
which we hope you will use to make your donation to this very worthwhile
cause. It can be returned to St Edward the Confessor’s Church in one of three
ways: In the collection plate during a service; to the parish office during the
week; through the vicarage letter box.
I am also aware that there are still people who would be prepared to complete
a ‘Door to Door’ collection. If you wish to do this, please contact me through
the Parish Office: [email protected] Christine Hanby
