Annual Church Meeting Tonight. Your Church Needs YOU!

The Annual Parochial Church Meeting is tonight, Monday 11th April at 7.30pm in church. 
New officers will be elected to the Parochial Church Committee for the next year or longer.  If you are a member of St Mary's, you can vote in the selecting process.
There are still some posts available, so consider putting yourself forward please to help your church.
Those who have already served are ready to support the new members, so don't worry if you don't know what's involved.  Help is at hand.

This afternoon, the Mothers' Union will be meeting in church at 2.15pm when the theme will be 'Easter'.

Tuesday, 12th April is the last of the Churches Together Lent Reflective Services and will be held at St Mary's Church at 7.30pm.
