Garden Help May we all thank John and Catherine Pike for their many years of
devoted service looking after the borders either side of the path leading up the
Church. The time has now come to hand this responsibility on to others. If there is
anyone interested in this responsibility in the Spring (after the daffodils have gone),
please see me as soon as possible. If there are no volunteers the plan would be to
put pebbles along the borders around the yew trees.
Last Week’s Collection was £524.71. Many Thanks.
With best wishes and Prayers for All,
Fr James and Deacon Paul
