Easter

Plans for Easter are shaping up nicely. Please see below under the heading ‘Easter’ for the details as they come in. But for now, please can you donate chocolate Easter Eggs for the Good Friday morning event – just bring them along on Sunday mornings. And might you be available to help on Good Friday morning? Please speak to me asap.

The Real Easter Egg

For Easter this year, how about giving your loved ones the ONLY Easter Egg which contains the true Easter message?

Made by The Meaningful Chocolate Company, this range of products cannot be found in supermarkets (who refuse to stock them) but only online direct from the company.

We are able to order in bulk as a church. So if you’d like to order some, this is the range:

Original milk chocolate egg £6.20
Dark chocolate egg £6.90
Fun pack of 6 small milk chocolate eggs £6.50
Easter Blessing bar £3.20
Mug with 3 small eggs £9.99

If we are able to order enough, the price will reduce a little.
Each egg comes with an Easter story booklet and the packaging reflects a Christian Easter. The milk chocolate is also palm-oil free.

If you’d like to buy some, see me at services where I will have the literature to show you, or alternatively email me.

To keep prices low and qualify for free delivery, we must order by 10th March.

If you have any queries, email me at jackiebrookscheesman@yahoo.co.uk

Parish Prayer:

There are two opportunities to pray together as a parish each week:

1) Sunday mornings from 9.45am in the glass pod off the corridor at Glenvale School.

2) Tuesday mornings, 11am at the Vicarage.

Prayer Chain:

If you would like to send a prayer request to the prayer chain, or join the prayer chain, please contact Jackie Brooks Cheesman: jackiebrookscheesman@yahoo.co.uk

Giving:

Thank you to you all for your sacrificial giving. If you would like to give to the work and ministry of the church please collect a form from the table at church which will enable you to give via the recommended route of the Parish Giving Scheme (PGS). However, people are welcome to give in whatever way suits them and please consider gift aiding your contribution so that the church receives an extra 25%.
