f you are visiting us for the first time we would like to get to know you better. Please fill in one of the yellow welcome cards and hand it to someone on duty before you leave. Better still, stay and have a chat over a cup of coffee after the 10.00am service. Children and young people are welcome to join the groups which meet during the service. Please feel free to take a toddler to the children’s corner at the back of the church if they are getting restless, but do stay with them.

Electoral Roll! Only those on the Electoral Roll can take a full part in our church life by voting at the APM or being elected to the PCC. This year we are only concerned with people who, when checking the Roll, find they are not on it. If you wish to go on the Roll, please fill in a form from the blue folder on the notices table in the hymn book corner (just inside the west door) and return it to me by Sunday, March 21st when the Roll will be closed.

St.Luke’s Prayer Book: Remember ‘St.Luke’s Kuke Book’? How about contributing toward a collection of favourite prayers? Give it some thought and give your prayers to Jean T-D, perhaps with just a sentence about why the prayer is meaningful for you. It will be a good project to get this together during Lent. In addition the artists among us may like to contribute small original illustrations.
