Today we will open our church service with the great Easter message of hope:
Alleluia! Christ is risen!
He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

Church annual meeting - 19 April
The
Annual Parish Meeting (APM) and the Annual Parochial Church Meeting
(APCM) - the church's AGM - will be held on Tuesday
19 April at 7.30 pm in
church.
Why two meetings, you may ask? The APM is to elect the two churchwardens who will serve for the following year. Anyone on the civil electoral register – anyone entitled to vote in government elections – or on the church electoral roll may attend the meeting. The APCM immediately follows and is to receive the accounts, the fabric report and the report of the Parochial Church Council (PCC), and to elect the PCC and sidespersons for the following year. Anyone on the church electoral roll is entitled to attend. We have six elected members of the PCC.
Please join us on 19 April! We promise not to elect you as PCC member or sidesperson unless you actually volunteer!

Morning Prayer
From this week, Lorna will hold a service of Morning Prayer at 8.45 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Branston, Wednesdays at Nocton and Fridays at Potterhanworth. This is a formal service similar to Matins, not an informal and spontaneous prayer service. Please feel free to join Lorna at any of the churches in the benefice for this quiet and prayerful start to the day.
