of sacrifice and peace,
to the praise of God the Father.
Post Communion Prayer:
Lord God our Father, through our Saviour Jesus Christ you have assured your children of eternal life and in baptism have made us one with him: deliver us from the death of sin and raise us to new life in your love, in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 










NOTICES

Flowers and Pictures
I would like to say a huge thank you to the flowers ladies and to Garry for the lovely display in church this Easter. Due to illnesses the ladies had to work extra hard to make all of the arrangements for our windows yet the standard was as beautiful as always. Also Garry, who painted our Stations of the Cross, framed each of them, which has presented them beautifully as well. Thank you Garry for all your hard work. The church looks amazing with both the pictures and the flowers so do have a closer look!

And last but by no means least, I would like to thank Moira and the choir that although their numbers were depleted they lead us beautifully through all of services. Thank you so much! Also to John and Jo who helped with our mixture of new and old. Thank you everyone for making this a great Easter!


Holiday
I am on holiday from the 9th to the 19th of April so if you have any urgent needs please do get a hold of one of our church wardens either in Burton Overy or Great Glen. Kim

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.
