Peggy Brook knits useful bags from old plastic carrier bags and on Saturday she generously donated her profits to add to our cake stall takings for Ukrainian refugees.  Peggy is running out of bags to cut up and knit, so if anyone has any spare bags she would be pleased to receive them.

The sun was shining and a tempting array of cakes were laid out on our pop-up stall at the Weighbridge market yesterday.  All proceeds are going to help Ukrainian refugees. 

A big thank you to all who helped and generously supported us, as well as those who said “keep the change” and the generous donation from the market traders themselves.

Attached is the Notice of Suspension of Presentation which is a standard procedure to allow the Bishop maximum flexibility in considering any changes to the shape of ministry in the deanery by way of pastoral reorganisation. Suspension does not mean that no appointment will be made. The Bishop has already told us that a Priest in Charge, who in almost all practical respects will act as if he or she were vicar or rector, will be appointed.

Could you open your garden? Last June the Church Events Committee arranged an Open Gardens and Cream Tea afternoon. This was very popular and afterwards several people approached us and said they would be happy to volunteer their gardens in the future.

We are planning to do this on Saturday June 11th, so if you would like your garden to be included this year, please let me know by early May

We are delighted to say that the vacancy is now being advertised in the Church Times, interviews are scheduled for the end of May and so we are hopeful that we will have the new person in post by September.

A new Prayer Corner has been created in the Gethsemane Chapel in St John's Church.  Please see a slideshow of photos in the Gallery
