General News for both parishes (unless stated)
BARN DANCE. The members of the Fundraising Group (Anna, Sonia, Hannah, Sue, Jon, John, Kim & Patrick) would like to thank all those who came along to last Saturday's Barn Dance - and especially those who helped out in the afternoon and/or evening. We estimate we have raised around £1,400 for the church funds - but almost as importantly, everyone had a great time! If anyone is interested in seeing some photos of the event, they're on the church website -http://www.smgd.org.uk
CONFIRMATION PREPARATION. The Bishop of Colchester is coming to St Mary's on Sunday May 24th at 6.00pm to conduct a Confirmation Service for us and, possibly, other folk from our Deanery. So far there are four youngsters who wish to be prepared to be Confirmed this year. Youngsters aged 13+ and adults who wish to take this step forward in their faith need to let David Ainge know. Preparation sessions will begin very soon.
PRAYER SERVICE FOR LENT on Thursday 26th March 2009 at the United Reformed Church, New Street, Great Dunmow at 7.30 - 8.15 pm, followed by coffee. All are welcome.
MARK'S FAREWELL LUNCH. Sign up to be part of Mark's Farewell Lunch on Sunday March 29th. We need to know how many people to cater for - so please add your name TODAY (before you forget!!) on the lists that are in church.
MARK'S FAREWELL PRESENTATION. If you wish to contribute towards the cost of the gifts to be presented to Mark as he leaves us, please hand your contribution to the clergy, Readers or Churchwardens.
CAN YOU GIVE AN HOUR A MONTH to the service of St Mary's? The gallant band of church cleaners is being depleted by a combination of age, weariness and illness. There is space for you on each of the teams. The camaraderie makes the task more pleasant. So, please offer your help via Vera.
THE NEW QUIET GARDEN leaflet is available at the back of the church. Some of the days are filling up quickly so book early to avoid disappointment.
