Notices

Thank you to those who made donations towards the beautiful Easter flowers in the church.

Sincere thanks to Kathy Watson, Karen Smith, and their team of volunteers for their many hours of work decorating the church with the Easter flowers.  Thanks also to John Ferris, who once again put up the cedar posts at the pew ends.  And one more huge ‘thank you’ to Liz Parker, who oversaw the Easter flower project for 26 years!

Thanks also to those who have volunteered to help take down the flowers in the church and deliver them to recipients tomorrow, Easter Monday.  A few more helpers are desperately needed; if you can assist, please contact the church office.
