BAPTISM. The next baptism preparation course will be held when there are sufficient candidates. Please fill in an application form and hand it to the sidesmen.


LENT STARTS ON THE 6TH MARCH; Plan now how you will keep it. Consider attending a Lenten home group, and possibly doing the Lenten Pilgrimage or Passion Walk.

Please bring Last year’s palm crosses to church and place them in the boxes for ashing.


What now with Fr Tom gone ? The Bishop has to identify a suitable candidate as Rector and then nominate that person to the Churchwardens. In the meanwhile the Wardens are in charge of the parish. They have asked Fr Tom to stay on as a temporary administrator (he may not do priestly duties) and Fr David, Fr Tony and Fr Atholl will do services. Some pastoral work will be done by lay ministers.
