Food bank donations critical: There is a plea from the Pantry, Fleetwood’s Food Bank for staple items of pasta, cereals, tins and toilet rolls to be donated. Stocks are seriously low. Donations can be placed in the box at the back of church and we’ll make sure they get to the Pantry. Many thanks.

Lent Study 5: On Wednesday we were in the company of the prophet Daniel. Even in danger and under persecution, he kept praying and adhered to the practices and disciplines of his faith, and that was what saw him through. So, we thought about the need for constant prayer. We concluded with an exercise in which we were invited to set our own Rhythm of Prayer. Week 5 was our final study together for now. This coming Wednesday we will come together in Church as we commemorate Jesus' last day on earth, moving through the stations of the cross.

Easter day lunch: Everyone is welcome to join us for lunch and some Easter fun after the 10.45 service. It’s a bring and share lunch, or Jacob’s Join, so if you are able to bring something to share, please jot it down on the list at the back of Church. We could do with some easter eggs and chocolate for prizes if you have any hanging around!

Sunset and Sunrise: We join with Churches Together in Fleetwood for both of these short outdoor services. Following sunset on Good Friday it is our tradition to have fish and chips back at the Baptist Church and after sunrise, breakfast back at Emmanuel Church. Come if you can, it’s only once a year!

Service of Hope: At 6 pm on Easter day. This is a service to remember those who we love but see no longer. Our friends at Emmanuel Church on the Mount are hosting this and are keen for us to go and to take with us anyone who we feel might benefit from some support.

Please also remember in your prayers: Martyn Westby, Brian Brown, Louise Gorley, Mark Price, Michael Carthy, Paul Sumner, Sandra Pratt, Michael, Chris Kelsall, Tracey Ashworth, Philip Wayman, and Chris Cousins. We also remember the families of Terry Davies, Margaret Levett, Jacqueline Burman, Charles Evans and Frank Wetherley whose funerals are due to take place.
