Annual Parochial Church Meeting – Sunday 1st May

Exciting times ahead! On Sunday 1st May we will be holding our Annual Parochial Church Meeting, which is a time to report back to our church family about what we have done in the last year, and to elect our church wardens and PCC members for the year ahead. In preparation, we have collated a set of reports from various areas of church life for you to read ahead of the meeting. Please click the link to read the reports as a pdf.

The APCM will bookend the Sunday Service, with the election of churchwardens directly before worship commences and then the remainder of the meeting will happen following coffee in the Hall after our service. It is wonderful when we have as many members of our church community together for this meeting, so please come if you can.

Urgent appeal for Magnolia cuttings!

Urgent plea! Do you have a Magnolia in your garden? Would you be willing to give it a prune and donate the cuttings to our Flower Team? If so please call 01264 790780 to arrange a suitable time for the team to take and collect the cuttings.

The reason for this plea is that our brilliant Flower Team are joining the team at Salisbury Cathedral at the end of April to make beautiful festive floral swags for display in the Cathedral itself. It’s an exciting project, but Magnolia was to be a central component and they haven’t nearly enough arranged for the display yet! Any help gratefully received! Thank you!

Palm Sunday

This Sunday is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week, leading us through the last week of Lent to a joyful Easter. This Sunday we will meet at the Market Cross, outside The Queens Head at 10am, to make a Palm Sunday procession to the church building, waving our palms and singing. Give us a smile and a wave if you see us, or come and join in this special service. If you are unable to join the procession, wait for us in church – we will arrive in style to worship with you!
