If you’d like to be invited next time, please don’t forget to take a slip and fill it in, (not forgetting the names of those people whose name(s) you would like to hear read out.)

PIE AND PEA SUPPER Many thanks to everyone who helped to make the evening such a success. A profit of £109 was made, which was split between the Fabric Fund and a donation towards the Centre’s running costs. There were quite a lot of non church members there, especially from Chairobics so we were very pleased to see them.
GOOD FRIDAY MORNING @ ST PAUL’S Our Good Friday event is on 22nd April from 10.00 am until 11.30 am. Everyone welcome, especially families with children. Lots of crafts & creative worship, finishing with hot cross buns, coffee & chat for the grown ups, and parachute games for the children. Please see Ann if you’d like to come along, or better still, if you’d like to help!
