St Andrew’s Mothering Sunday Service
The service was enhanced by the beautiful posies provided by the skill and generosity of Patricia White. All concerned were touched and grateful.
Easter Lily funds
Carol Seymour, the flower rota convenor at St Mary’s writes
‘The flower ladies give their time and flowers over the years to make St Mary’s look cheerful. I feel sorry that it is mostly them who donate to the lily fund and hope others can be kind and donate to support the flower ladies who do so much at Easter, Christmas, Harvest Festival making the church look wonderful
Any extra money will be kept for buying Oasis, candles at Christmas and the Advent wreath and only this year the Easter Eggs which can be safely kept for another year’.
Heather Swaine the convenor at St Andrew’s will also welcome similar donations in the box at the back of church for that purpose.

Most merciful God,
who by the death and resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ
delivered and saved the world:

who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
