Thank you to all who contributed to Holy Week and Easter especially to those responsible for financing and arranging flowers in both churches. Special thanks are due to Fiona and Hilary’s contribution to the Maundy Thursday Service at St Andrew’s and Margie’s reflection at St Mary’s Good Friday Service. At St Andrews we were delighted to welcome Susan and David King on Easter Day: haste ye back!

Collect
Almighty Father,
you have given your only Son to die for our sins
and to rise again for our justification:
grant us so to put away the leaven of malice and wickedness
that we may always serve you
in pureness of living and truth;
through the merits of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
