EASTER SUNDAY Many thanks to all those, the Bridge Singers, church cleaners, flower arrangers etc, etc, who made our Easter Sunday such a special occasion. In total well over 200 people attended St Mary's during the course of the day which was tremendous. Martin Skeffington, Dave Townsend.
ANNUAL PARISH MEETING The Annual Parish Meeting is being held on Monday 26th April at 7.30 p.m. in St Mary's church and all are urged to attend. Reports from church organisations can be read on the church website - stmarysradcliffe.org, also hard copies are available at the back of church. At the meeting elections will be held for the positions of churchwardens and members of the PCC. Nomination forms for these roles may be found at the back of church and everybody is asked to consider whether they may wish to be nominated to help further in the life of the church and hall. Martin Skeffington, Dave Townsend.
BIBLE READING FELLOWSHIP: The new Bible Reading Fellowship books are now at the back of church for collection by subscribers. Bob Johnson.
CARETAKER/CLEANER: St. Mary's Hall's caretaker and cleaner has decided to leave and we are looking for a replacement. Ideally this should be a husband/wife team where one could be the caretaker and the other the cleaner, although we are prepared to look at all options. If anyone is or a couple are able to take on this responsibility or they know of anyone who may be suitable, please will they have a word with either of the churchwardens, Dave or Martin or alternatively with our treasurer Roger. We shall be advertising the position in LINK and probably elsewhere as well. Martin Skeffington
