Examiner for the Church Accounts - By now you should all have received the Annual Report containing the Church Accounts. After several years as Examiner, Edward Gibson is retiring and so the Church is looking for someone with an appropriate background to take over this task. Looking over the completed accounts is a once a year activity, usually undertaken in February each year. Ideally the Examiner for 2012 should be elected at this year's Annual Meeting and so we would appreciate hearing from someone as soon as possible. Anyone interested should contact John King on 01572 722796 or Peter Hill on 01572 724529. Wednesday 20th June: “Open House” change of date. This is the new date for Helen Bush, 17 Tolethorpe Close. Thank you. Weekly offering envelopes are an efficient form of planned giving, with Gift Aid also possible. The New year starts April 8th, and are ready for collection now. Would you like to start giving this way? Queries, contact Gordon 755371

If anyone says to you, “Why are you doing this?” just say this, “The Lord needs it and will send it back here immediately.” ’ They went away and found a colt tied near a door, outside in the street.

Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it; and he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields. Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our
