Claydon Benefice Monthly Notice sheet of Services and Events with latest weekly update
Please see pew sheet for the month attached - the following news update was issued by email on Friday 27th March
Don't forget to put you clock forward on Saturday night however you can still have a lay in as the Palm Sunday Benefice Service at Gt Blakenham doesn't start until 11 o'clock. As this is a fifth Sunday it will be the only service in the Benefice
Attached is the full schedule of services in the Benefice for Holy Week and Easter - the busiest and most important week in the Church calendar. Please have a good look at the attached and plan to be at as many as you can as we follow Jesus from Palm Sunday to the Cross on Good Friday and the joy of the Resurrection on Easter morning.
Please note that there will be no Families@4:30 this month but we hope that families with children will come to the Children’s Workshop at Barham or Henley on Good Friday morning .
As reported last week, the funeral B of Trevor Messenger will take place at Barham Church at 11am on Thursday 16th April. Hopefully there will be a good turnout from the Church and Community in recognition of the huge amount of service he gave to the Church and the Community over 50+ years before dementia cruely took over his life. Please continue to pray for Angela, Jason, Julie and all their families and Jonathan his cousin at this very sad time.
Annual Parochial Church Meetings are on the horizon for all 3 Churches so in preparation please ensure that if you are baptised and over 16 that your name is on your Church's Electoral Roll if it isn't already on from last year - application forms in Church or ask your Churchwarden. Also if you would like to serve your Church as one of two Churchwardens, one of two Deanery Synod members or as a PCC member please get yourself nominated and encourage others to do so also. With our churches soon moving into interregnums as we have a vacancy for our Rector it is important that we have good representation on our PCCs
And finally: If you know of any one planning to send children to this year's J-team who has not yet booked through TicketSource, please encourage them to book soon as places are going fast with 49 of the 85 places already gone and one age group 70% full. We would hate to have to turn away any previous attendees but we cannot exceed the numbers. Very best wishes for Holy Week and Easter.
