General News for both parishes (unless stated)
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.
POSIES, PRAYERS AND PEOPLE IN CHURCH. Next Sunday is Mothering Sunday - a day that has become massive in everyone's calendar. Families travel all over the country to spend time with their mums. Shops are full of cards, chocolates and flowers. Churches prepare extra-special All-Age Services to mark the Day, and loads of people come to celebrate. Our major Services are: St Mary's - 22nd March, 10.30am and Andrew's - 22nd March, 10.30am. This is a great opportunity to encourage family, friends and neighbours to come with you to church. As ever, a very warm welcome awaits everyone who comes.
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 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.
Conference on the Ministry of Healing. On Saturday 4th April (10.00am - 3.00pm) Gareth Tuckwell, from the Burrswood Christian Healing Centre, will be the chief speaker at the Cathedral at this Conference. Posters are up in our churches, and Rosemary Drew has even more information. Please contact Rosemary directly if you're interested in going to this Conference.
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.
