Passover Supper Tickets are now on sale for this event for the whole church family, both young and old, as we re-enact the traditional Passover meal on Maundy Thursday, 1 April at 6pm and reflect on what it means for us as Christians.  Those who attended two years ago will know that it was a wonderfully visual, tasty and interactive way to prepare for Easter.
Tickets - adults £5, children £2.50

Church directory and database update If you filled in the form but do not have access to the internet then you will be pleased to know that a copy of the new directory is in the letter rack for you to collect. If you would prefer a large print copy then do let the office know.
Those with internet access have already been given permission to view their data and the church directory online - and you can even print off your own directory! If you would prefer a paper copy (provided you are already on the database) then please call into the church office - we would ask for a £2 donation towards printing costs.

Congratulations! Many congratulations to John Alpass who, after much blood, sweat (and probably tears), passed his organ exam and gained a Certificate of the Royal College of Organists (CertRCO). Whilst we of course always knew he was a good organist - it’s now official!
However he has since broken his finger (which has required surgery) and will consequently be out of action until after Easter!
