NOTICES
As you all know Holy Week and
Easter are upon us and we have some exciting ways to celebrate this year
including our Palm Sunday donkey walk and our Methodist/Anglican Easter
celebration, so if you haven’t already done so please pick up a leaflet which gives
more details of all of our Holy Week and Easter Services.
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!
ST ANDREW’S AGM Thursday 30th April at 7.30 pm in the Burton Overy Village
Hall. At this meeting we shall elect two
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.
EASTER
FLOWERS We would be grateful for any donations
towards the cost of the flowers to decorate St Cuthbert’s Church for Easter. Could you please give these to Lyn or Roger
Flowers or Carol Neal by 5th April.
COME AND
SING at 5.30 p.m. on Saturday 28th
March at St Andrew’s Church, Burton Overy; a rehearsal for singing at the Palm
Sunday Service. As the title suggests, a
chance to enjoy singing together, when we shall learn a special hymn for Palm
Sunday – adults and children welcome.
FARM VISITS
TO BURTON OVERY On Wednesday 25th
and Thursday 26th March, inner city school children will be coming on
their annual visit to the Langton Farm, where they will be able to feed the
lambs, collect eggs and learn about life on a farm. As in previous years, our harvest collection
is paying for the transport.
LADIES NIGHT OUT SOCIAL has been arranged for the evening of Wednesday 15th
April. Further details nearer the
time. There is a good interest already,
but always room for more. Contact Carole Henson hensonc@talk21.com or 0116 2403368
VIDEO
COLLAGE by Garry Bedford As we approach Holy Week Garry would like to
take the opportunity to present his video collage entitled ‘The Way of Sorrow’.
Using found images and his own
photography he has presented his own interpretation of Christ’s last journey
with the cross to his crucifixion, along the Via Dolorosa (or The Way of
Sorrow) in Jerusalem. This is what he
says “As a Christian
I believe that Easter captures all of the human condition in a series of powerful
episodes, presenting, as it does pain and compassion; hope and despair; courage
and fear; revenge and mercy; love and hate, with God’s love being the ultimate
message.” The video can be viewed on
youtube at:-https://www.youtube.com%2Fchannel%2FUCmLbrsBzE5qxsuBTESjDPdQ or go to youtube search

those suffering from the Ebola virus and the aid workers who are treating them.
