Mein Jesu, der du mich (Jesus, since you have called me)
J. Brahms
SATURDAY COFFEE in aid of the Organ Fund, 10 – 12noon in the choir vestry. Do call in if you are around and about.
CHURCH PATH Please could we have some volunteers to help tidy the path along the south side of the church? Grass and weeds are a constant problem here and it’s looking very tatty at the moment. This doesn’t need to be co-ordinated: it just needs some people to come down and pull up, and in some cases dig up, the offending items, whenever you might find it convenient. Given that most of the church cleaning is done by women, perhaps some of our men-folk might come forward for this…
FLOWERS Is there anyone else who would be interested in helping with the church flowers on a rota basis? If so, please see the list at the back of church. For now, Susan Garth and Fr Chris are the people to contact regarding flowers and to receive money for them. Thank you.
HOLIDAYS if you are going away, please remember to attend the Eucharist. We can advise as to suitable places to worship, with times, if you ask.
HOLIDAY PERIOD Please try to support the parish’s daily worship at a time when people are away; and please call in whenever you are near, so as to improve security during the school holidays.
