comfort. Eileen’s funeral will take place on Wednesday,

FUNDRAISING CURRY NIGHT
Thank you very much for all the support for the curry evening. It was a very enjoyable evening, and we raised £803. All proceeds will go to the fitting -out of our new parish community hall.
POPE LEO’S PRAYER INTENTION FOR MAY 26
Let us pray that everyone, from large
producers to small consumers, be committed
to avoiding wasting food, and to ensure that
everyone has access to quality food.
CHURCH FLOWERS
We are looking for a couple of new flower arrangers to join our rota. Your services would only be needed once every 6 to 7 weeks, and you would be paired up with an existing
member of the group. Just simply arrange to meet at a convenient time for both, with a bunch of flowers and greenery and replace the previous week’s flowers.
If you can join us, please speak to Polly Sklenar.
