Lillian Wicks – Thank You
Lillian would like to thank everyone for their prayers, cards and visits. She is progressing very well and doing what she should be doing to recover and hopes to be back in Church soon.
Book & Jigsaw Swap
We’re again encouraging ‘Recycle & Re-Use’ with a book and jigsaw swap. Please bring any unwanted books or jigsaws and place them in the plastic containers in the Baptistry. There will be a table set up in the north aisle from Sunday 7th April to browse the donations. Please take any that appeal. If you have donations but are not able to bring them to church, contact the Parish Office and we will arrange to collect them. All leftover books and jigsaws will be donated to a local charity or sent to the ‘Books for Africa’ charity. Thank you and happy browsing! Eco-Church Group
