Message from Pip
Please pray for Jim Neary, who passed away this week. Although not a member of our congregation, his wife Joyce often joined us on a Wednesday, and he was always there when we gave Joyce communion at home. Please pray for Joyce and the family at this time.
Vestry
We have a couple of vacancies in our vestry. The most pressing, is a minutes secretary. If you feel able to take minutes of our meeting, do please make yourself known to John Williams, the People's Warden, or any other member of vestry. Your offer of help will be gratefully received!
Thank you to Kim Shaw-Walker, who in addition to her duties as Fabric Convenor is taking on the role of Lay Representative. This role involves attending Area Council and Diocesan Synod.
