Events for your diary

Just as it seemed that everyone had gathered on the park for the May Day celebrations, yesterday, the whole village is invited to come and visit St Mary's on the Open Day planned for May 21st. Come and meet us and see the new interior of the church. The church will be open from 11.00-1.30pm, 2.30-4.00pm and 4.30-6.30pm. So put it in your diary now. Or you can just pop in any day when the church is open.

We will be celebrating Pentecost on 11th May, and as this is our usual 'Worship Together' service there will be a service of Parish Communion at 9.30am instead. This is suitable for all ages and will be led by St Mary's Music Group.

Christian Aid Week will be from 11th-17th May
Please consider those who need our help and give a little to help them. Volunteers will be delivering the envelopes and collecting them later in the week. We can't solve all the world's problems alone, but every little action does help - and so does praying.

The Abbot Club, our men's group welcoming any newcomers, met last Thursday at the Nag's Head as usual. If you would like to come along, ask for Colin.

Music for a May Evening will be held in All Saints Church, Rempstone on May 7th at 7.30pm.
