Dear All
This week it is Messy Church at 4pm in the hall (no 9.15am service!) and we look forward to seeing you.

In case you haven’t heard,  Reverend Sharon Roberts has been appointed our new vicar and will probably join us soon, when we have been able to arrange a suitable date with Bishop Alan to licence her. Sharon is part of the Beaconsfield team at St. Mary’s at present, but many of you may already know her. She took our lovely Mothering Sunday service at the end of March and organized the beautiful prayer station in St.Michael’s during Holy Week. The decision by the interviewing panel was unanimous. Thank you God!

Only 1 week to our Spring Fair,  Margaret Skinner is desperate for tombola prizes please. Bakers please bring your cakes etc to the Church Meeting Rooms after 9.30am Friday if you would like them wrapped or Saturday morning (preferably early enough for them to be wrapped or bring wrapped by yourselves!)
We still need lots of volunteers, particularly for the children’s activities. The more volunteers, the more activities we can do! Even if you can only do an hour, it gives a stall holder a chance to have a cuppa or a burger! Thank you!

God bless

Dear All

This Sunday is our Early Birds service in the Hall at 9.15am. The story is the Road to Emmaus, where 2 disciples recognized Jesus on Easter Day, when he took the bread at supper and broke it. We meet Jesus at Holy Communion, when we communicate with Him, on a one to one basis. In our modern world, we communicate one to one daily on our smartphones, keeping our relationships with those we love alive  –do we communicate with Jesus as often?  Keeping our relationship with him alive? We should!

Thank you to those who came and enjoyed the beautiful bluebells, last Sunday. We raised £50, only 6 days after the Easter Egg Hunt. Well done! Your support for St. Michael’s is so appreciated.

Only 2 weeks to the Spring Fair – we need children’s value items (i.e. scooter, bike, etc), any bottles for the bottle tombola, children’s tombola prizes, cakes and your help for a couple of hours to help run stalls. Please volunteer!

Please spread the word to your friends and family and come 11-2 Saturday 18th May.
God bless

Weekly Sheet 14th April (link)

Dear All

What a wonderful Mothering Sunday service last week. Thank you Sharon – and all those who helped make the gorgeous posies!

This Sunday is our Early Birds service at 9.15am in the Hall. Ruth is doing the story, so please come and support her. We are so lucky to have some lovely mums, who give their time to tell our stories each month. If any more of you, mums or dads, would like to do this too, please let us know.

Next Saturday, 13th April, is the church spring clean before Holy Week and Easter. If lots of you can spare an hour max, the “faithful few” won’t have to spend several hours, mostly on their aged knees!!

Holy Week. the last week of Jesus’ life  starts on Palm Sunday and ends with his resurrection on Easter morning.  Amazing to think this all actually  happened in one week – his triumphal entry in to Jerusalem, the Last Supper, His arrest, torture and  crucifixion and  his resurrection.
. We have Messy Church at 4pm on Sunday 14th April. The Good Friday Workshop is at 9.15 on Friday 19th April and our Easter Day service is 10am.

Enjoy the holidays!

God bless

Please come and support her as we celebrate The Angel Gabriel bringing Mary God’s message, that she was to become Jesus’ mum. We will be giving out our traditional posies at the end of the service. Don’t forget, the clocks change!

Before we start our Easter services, we are spring cleaning our church on Saturday 13th April. Please can you spare an hour in the morning, to come and help? Mums, dads and children are all welcome – many hands make light work. There is a sign up sheet at the back of the church, don’t leave all the work to other people! Your church needs YOU!

The next day, 14th April, is Palm Sunday and it is Messy Church at 4pm and Coco, the shetland pony is coming to pretend to be the donkey. We will parade round the outside of the church with him, waving palms.

On Good Friday we will have our Good Friday Workshop at 9.15am, you need to sign up for this. You will find the form on the website.

Cathy is taking our Service at 10:00 am on Easter Day, the most important feast in the Christian year, when all Christians should take Holy Communion.

On Easter Monday, there is the Easter Egg Hunt at 2.30pm, don’t be late!

Enjoy this lovely spring weather!

God bless

Dear All
This Sunday is our Family Communion at 9.15am and we welcome the Team Rector Jeremy, who has just returned from the Holy Land, please come and support him.
 
In 2 weeks time it will be Mothering Sunday at 10am on 31st March, when we will be giving out posies (we are making these on Friday 29th, if you would like to help, please let me know).
This year, Mothering Sunday falls a day before the Annunciation, the day when the Angel Gabriel came to Mary and told her she would be the mother of God and Sharon Roberts is coming to take our Super Sunday service. Being lucky enough to be a mother is one of the greatest gifts there is, do try and come and thank God for our children.
 
This year I am again having the Easter Egg Hunt on Bank Holiday Monday 22nd April, do hope many of you will bring your children to this fund raising event, details nearer the time.
God bless
