SECOND COLLECTION – RESTORATION FUND
RESTORATION FUND
As with most buildings, our church needs constant maintenance. We are
currently replacing the wall on Greenford Road, which is showing signs of
great old age. Please bear with us whilst this essential work is being carried
out.
FLOWERS for EASTER
Next week’s second collection will be for Flowers for Easter.
The flowers in the church are always beautiful and really enhance the
celebration of the Eucharist. During the season of lent, the absence of flowers
is a start reminder of the meaning of the season.
