Holy Week and Easter
Calling all plant growers
There won’t be a separate plant sale this year but we will be having a plant stall at the Spring Fair on May 16th. So if you are planting seeds at home, please plant a few extra for the stall, or nearer the time get some plug plants to plant on, or see if there’s any seedlings you can spare from your garden.
St Luke's Spring fair - Saturday 16th May 12.30-3.30pm
Sign up sheets are at the back of church today to sign up to help run stalls on the day. Raffle prize donations list and refreshment donation list on back table.
Raffle tickets are on sale today as well. Please take some and return stubs and money by 16th May.
Please start to add bottles/ chocolate for the tombolas and children prizes to your shopping. Boxes for donations will be in church after Easter.
Help out with Explorers
Our children’s Sunday morning group is looking for more helpers - 9.40 - 11.15 a.m.
If you enjoy playing games, doing crafts and have a passion for sharing the Bible with young people, we’d love you to join us. We have a rota so you would be asked to help usually one week in six, and only during term time.
Please contact Mel Wenham or an Explorer leader or Rev David for info. Lots of help and guidance available. While all are welcome to help, it would be particularly good to have some more men join our team to help the boys.
