Easter Sunday

Thank You

I would like to thank all of the women and men, boys and girls who gave of their time and talents to make the Holy Week Services so meaningful especially:

§ Those who prepared, cleaned and decorated the Church

• § Those who prepared and organised all of the ministries for the Services
• § And those who took part in the liturgies
• § Not forgetting of course, those who helped all during Lent
• § Those who helped pass on items left from the jumble sale and
• § Those who delivered the envelopes.

We are very lucky to have such generous people.
