Other notices:

Tuesdays at 8: Something More housegroup returns on 14th April! This session of our lively housegroup will consider 'What happened to the Quiet Revival?' A year ago the Bible Society published a report claiming increasing church attendance and spiritual interest among young adults. Recently that report has been withdrawn because the statistics were found untrustworthy! Where does that leave the Quiet Revival? Where does that leave the Bible Society? It's an extraordinary story, one that has hit the newspapers recently! From that date we will continue our pattern of alternating Tuesday housegroup and Bible Studies.

Alpha Course The Alpha Course will begin at 20h00 on Zoom on Thursday 16 April. Please contact Helen or Mary to receive the link.

Reminder: Funeral of Revd Peter Hales: The Funeral Eucharist will be celebrated at Precey Church (Peter's home village) at 10h30 on Thursday 9th April, to be followed by refreshments in the nearby hall, then cremation at Villedieu in the afternoon. We are grateful to Fr Francis Marécaille for the privilege of celebrating an Anglican Eucharist on this occasion. Please share this information widely, as we know many will wish to be there to remember Peter and to support Pippa and the family. Donations in lieu of flowers for Medecins sans Frontiers please.

Please pray for our Chaplaincy:

Lord Jesus Christ,
thank you for calling us to be a Church under the banner of your Name:
may we look to you today and find clear vision for tomorrow.
May our life together bring you glory,
as you make of us a living invitation to enter the joy of your Kingdom. Amen
