If you are a communicant member of a
Christian Church, you are welcome to come up to receive the bread and
wine. Otherwise you are welcome to
either remain in your seat or come up to receive a blessing. Keeping your hands down by your side will
signify to the Vicar that you wish to receive a blessing. If you have difficulty coming up to the
Communion Rail and would like the Vicar to come to you, then please inform a
sidesman.

NOTICES
ELECTORAL
ROLL This is revised annually at this time
of year and notices are displayed in all churches. Being on the Electoral Roll means that you
have a vote at the Annual Meeting. Forms
are available from Roger Hickling or Richard Bloor.
ST CUTHBERT'S AGM 6.30 p.m. on Sunday 12th April, at
the church: This year we will open with a short
act of worship followed by a time of fellowship and refreshment of wine and
nibbles. It is a time for all of us to
gather, to chat and to look back at the year that has gone. I would love to have as many of you with us
as possible so that I can share a vision and hope for the year ahead of
us. Hope to see you there!

Churchwardens. Anyone in Burton Overy is
entitled to vote for the Churchwardens.
After this election, those on the electoral roll may vote for the Church
Council. The Church Council is very grateful for all the help they
receive from villagers, not least the wonderful support given to the Death
Watch Beetle Appeal.

HOUSE GROUP meets once a month at The Springs Burton

is not untruthful to himself, then he will find a way to act in the best manner
according to his strength.
