Palm Crosses, Parish Easter Card and Holy Week at Home
We have Palm Crosses available for this coming Sunday. There is a supply in The Rectory porch which is unlocked, so people are welcome to come and collect whenever. We encourage people to think of picking up a few for those who live around you and drop them off if you are comfortable with doing that. Please wear gloves for extra safety. Tim will bless the crosses in the service on Sunday morning as we hold them in our hands.
We cannot distribute the Easter Card to the town this year. It is online here so please down load it and share the link with your neighbours.
There is an excellent resource available, Holy Week at Home which includes ideas and prayers for each day between Palm Sunday and Easter Day.

COVID-19 coronavirus
In light of the updated Government guidance around non-essential contact, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York have announced that public worship is suspended until further notice and churchbuildings will remain closed. Prayers will continue to be said daily by our clergy on behalf of everyone in the community and although the buildings are closed our churches are still there to minister and serve, and to offer practical support.
You are welcome to join an online service on Sunday mornings. Please contact Mike Day for details: mikesueday@aol.com
Please do read Tim's April 'Thought for the month' and the letter from our Bishops Peter and Ruth and listen to the message from Bishop Ruth.
