Fun-Key Church is on today at 4pm when we will be looking at the theme of "one body, many parts". Crafts, activities, cake making, science stuff and so much more. All are welcome to this very informal worship. See Gillian if you would like more information or you would like to help. Today’s Flowers in Church Perhaps you have noticed that the flowers are not “arranged” but simply placed in a vase. If you feel you could do something similar and would be prepared to take on some weeks during the year, I should love to hear from you. The task is not particularly onerous or expensive but at the moment we have only 10 people to cover the whole year which is making the task more demanding. Thank you for thinking about it. Judith (01748 826793)
