This week’s news: 16th — 22nd April 2017
Revd Andrew Reid’s Easter Message to St Mary’s: “Alleluia! The Lord is risen. He is risen indeed Alleluia!”
The song of triumph of the ancient Church re-echoes around the Church again. There have frankly been times recently when I wondered whether I would meet this Easter. God willing, I hope to be with you in spirit! I have come to
realize that the risen Christ is to be found in all those who seek to love their fellow human beings, and to live Christ in the world. Happy Easter.
Visitors are welcome, but must phone ahead (01892 635598) and expect to have to wait for admittance. The Archdeacon is taking Andrew Holy Communion today.
APCM: the new Electoral Roll is now displayed on the front door. No new names can be added, but any inaccurate details should be reported to Nora Pendleton, Electoral Roll Officer, either in church or by telephone: 563185. Thank you.
