Volunteers needed to prepare Palms & Pussywillows

On Thursday,April 6, at 9:30AM volunteers are needed to bunch the palms & pussywillows. Many hands make light work and less time to complete. If you are available for a few hours, please come and help.

During Holy Week Services much help is needed to carry Church appointments in procession around the Church. We are urging younger people to take part in services. A sign- up sheet is at the back desk and downstairs. Someone will be there to take your name and any questions you might have.
