Message from Pip
The Rector is away this morning, covering the interregnum services at Innerleithen and Peebles.
I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who made Holy Week and Easter the important spiritual journey that it was. Those of you who joined with us during the ecumenical services, and the joint services of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday; those who decorated the church so beautifully for Easter; those who prepared the church for Good Friday and beyond, and especially Chris and Robert and the choir who led our worship in music. An especial thank you goes to my ministry team colleague's, who make this important season a communal and prayerful one.
Smartie Tubes
Thank you to those who have been filling their Smarties tubes during Lent in aid of Church funds. Please return filled Smarties tubes on Sunday, failing this, the following Sunday, or the sum paid directly via the Bank, indicating it is for the Smarties.
