V. Lord all pitying, Jesu blest,
R. Grant them thine eternal rest.
Sponsored Flower Arrangements: We are offering the opportunity
for you to sponsor one of the flower arrangements in Church, either
on the pedestal by the statue of Mary or in the Lady Chapel. A
contribution between £30 and £50 is suggested. The
flowers could commemorate the memory of a loved one or the anniversary
of a happy event. Fr Andrew is happy to help with any aspect of
this project including a mention of the dedication in the pew
sheet. The sponsor, if they wish, could help select the choice
of flowers and colours. Jackie E will be pleased to discuss the
scope of the flower arrangement with you.
Intercessors, readers and chalice assistants: It is again
the time to prepare the next rota. Could you please let Michael
Elves (872750) know as soon as possible when you will not be available
for duty during April, May and June.
Readers are reminded that there will usually be a large
print version of the reading available on the piano. Please check
before the start of the service.
Morning Tea after Church: It would be helpful to have another
two people to join our roster. Men or women welcome. This is very
enjoyable and not at all onerous - duty only required every two
months. Speak to Jan, phone 569 219.
If you know of anyone who would appreciate a
visit from a member of St Saviour's or the Vicar, please let a
Churchwarden know.
Please make use of the Church Library and bookstall.
