Parish Notices Sunday 29th March 2015
The Rector writes ’You are all welcome to our United Palm Sunday Service today. After the first Hymn and the Collect, those of us who can, will leave the church and walk down to the entrance of the Waterpark Estate where we will be met by parishioners of Our Lady & St John, there we will hear the Palm Sunday Gospel and together pray before returning to our own church to hear our young people read the Passion Gospel. (which is printed in this Linksheet)
As normal, we will continue our fellowship with refreshments after the Service. I look forward to seeing you at as many of next week’s services as you can go to! It is our ‘Week of Weeks’ and we will tell , in words, music and actions, the amazing story of the suffering, death and resurrection of our Lord.
EASTER EGG COLLECTION box (made by the Sunday School) is at the back of St Mary’s Church. This is again for the Cuan Lee Women’s Refuge in Cork. The eggs will be delivered to the children after the service on Easter Sunday. Last year the children in the Refuge were absolutely delighted with their special Egg delivery.
