Election time and your PCC.

Yesterday was the deadline for all those worshipping regularly at St Mary's Church.  Once registered, you are entitled to stand for election and/or vote at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting on April 11th at 7.30pm in the church.

If you want to know what a P.C.C. does, there is a leaflet at the back of church that explains, or you could just ask someone who is already on the PCC. Everyone is welcome whatever their skills or abilities to get involved in the life of the church as ALL are important - part of the body of Christ.

Lots of helpers are needed to share the roles within the church and YOU could just the one we need.  The tasks are not onerous because the load is shared.  After all, the Rector can't be expected to do EVERYTHING!

We had a great visit from Bishop Tony and his wife, Lucille yesterday and have another special service coming up next Sunday with Robert Ingles of the Gideons at 9.30am. Why not come and join us?

Lent services begin on Tues. 15th March, 7.30pm St Mary's Church - Churches Together Lent Reflective Service.
The York Lent Course started this afternoon at Costock - contact Sue Waterston for details.

Meanwhile, plans are going ahead for the Easter Club for the children 18th-20th April. Remember the fun last year with Showstoppers?  Well, get ready for another good time when the theme will be Champion's Challenge, so put it in your diary.

Tomorrow, we welcome pupils from Lantern Lane School, East Leake, who will be shown around the church by members of East leake and District Local History Society.
We hope you have a lovely visit to our Parish Church.
