NOTICES
Breakfast will be served after the 8.30 a.m. service at St
Cuthbert's Church TODAY! Do stop and
enjoy a cup of coffee/tea and a hot croissant with us - and a pleasant chat! Church breakfasts are served on the second
Sunday of each month.
Renewal
of Church Electoral Rolls - Please return
your completed forms to Richard Bloor by 21st March or to Roger Hickling by 27th March. Being on a church electoral roll is a way of expressing your
interest in the church - the total number is a good indication of the life of a
church to potential new Vicars. The
Annual Meeting for Burton Overy/Carlton Curlieu is on Thursday evening, 18th
April, and the Annual Meeting for Great Glen is on Wednesday evening, 24th
April.
There will be a pony as usual to take part in the procession after the Palm
Sunday service which begins at 10.30 a.m. at Burton Overy church on Sunday,
24th March. The children make palm
branches during the service to use during the procession - it's a family event
for everyone . Do come and the pony will
happily be patted and be sat upon afterwards.
Good Friday Breakfast - Songs, prayers and activities for all ages will take
place as usual from 8 a.m. in Burton Overy Village Hall. Do come and join us!
Easter Sunday United
Service - Following breakfast in the
Methodist church hall, we shall start the 10.30 a.m. Family Service in the
Methodist Church (with the young families downstairs this year!), then process
up to St Cuthbert's for the Holy Communion part of the service, followed by the
children's Easter Egg treasure hunt.
Mary's Institution as Rector of Great & Little Harrowden, Orlingbury,
Isham & Pytchley will take place on Sunday, 5th May at 3.30 p.m. at St Mary's Church, Little Harrowden. Her
last Sunday here will be 21st April - but she is going to return to lead
the Rogation Sunday Pilgrimage for one last time - here's hoping the weather's
an improvement on last year!! For refreshment
and seating purposes, the churchwardens at Little Harrowden would like some
idea of how many people might attend Mary's service of Institution by the end of March so please can you
contact David Graves (271 4420, email davidjgraves@btinternet.com) or Anne
Bloor (259 2550, email bloor@burtonovery.freeserve.co.uk) if you think you
might be going - Little Harrowden is about 35 minutes from Great Glen.
Lent Courses -Each Wednesday session starts at 7.30 p.m. at Glen Methodist
Church York
Sparklers is going to need
a leader (preferably two leaders) to run it after Easter. There is a team of young mums who do the
crafts, so it's not very time-consuming.
Tessa Mynott will also need some assistance with Messy Church
Easter
Lilies
- If anyone would like to make a contribution towards the church Easter lilies
at Great Glen, would you please give your donation to Arthur Whitfield as soon
as possible.
