Retreats Maggie Le Roy, who runs the Retreats writes: Please note that the Quiet Day at Katafiyio will not take place in May. Quiet Days will continue as usual on the 3rd Tuesday of the month from June – YOU are welcome! Pastoral Symphony Pastoral Symphony or is it tea and sympathy? During this period when we are without a full-time Chaplain, until Canon Derek Smith arrives in August, our “in Church” clergy are happy to provide pastoral care to any of our family in need. Should you require a Chaplain, for whatever reason, please telephone, Marvin Bamforth, 99539144, Eric Freeman, 25933781, Geoff Prenton, 25434612 or Lew Scudder 25542866. Alternatively, please talk to a Church Warden. Car Parking Sometimes we have problems with car parking and some folk have difficulty in getting out!! Please park considerately if you possibly can and if you know you are blocking someone in, please move your car before having coffee. Alternatively, the University Car Park next door is available for us to use. Please remove your car by midday. Songs of Praise Please see notice on the porch board. Michael Crawford invites us to Songs of Praise in the amphitheatre at Deryneia on May 10th at 7.30 p.m. The occasion is ‘Pentecost’ and we have selected Hymns and Songs both traditional and contemporary in an effort to ‘suit all tastes.’ The idea is to help Christians to worship together but also to give the opportunity for inviting non-Christian friends to an event in this popular and familiar format, ‘Songs of Praise.’ The emphasis will be on congregational singing with drama, interviews and a short message on the theme of ‘Pentecost.’ It will be very ‘user friendly’ For more details, please contact Michael 23811045 Congratulations Our congratulations go to Eric & Vivienne’s daughter, Soraya, studying creative & decorative crafts, who was nominated for an award because of her commitment to the course. At Southend Adult Community College, they try to encourage everyone & have about 30 courses specifically for people with learning difficulties. Soraya suffers from cerebral palsy & has a lot of trouble with her hands, but is very determined. Well done.
During this time of inter-regnum, please be aware
of anything extra that needs to be done. We are ALL responsible for
checking that lights are off, doors are shut, gates are closed. If
you can see a little job needs doing, please do it, whether it means
pulling up a few weeds, putting the rubbish bags out or shutting the
Church doors firmly. Every little counts and it is that extra straw
that broke the camel’s back. Thank you. |
