A Message from the President
If I was to be choosing Easter cards to send to everyone, my choice would be that familiar picture of a church, a frolicking lamb and a posy of primroses or waving daffodils. All emblems of renewal. The risen Christ, new born life and nature in all its delicate beauty.
After this year of global suffering, we all need that sense of renewal, revival, a fresh start. The world will never forget those who lost their lives to the pandemic or their loved ones left to grieve. We will not forget those who lost their jobs or those whose hopes and dreams have been shattered. As the hoped-
In those initial days of bewilderment and anxiety we saw light in the darkness as wonderful people, seeing so much need and helplessness, became heroes and heroines in their ingenuity in finding ways to bring food and comfort to vast numbers of people.

Our Private Sittings, held on the first and third Saturday of each month, will recommence on Saturday, 5th June
Contact Healing will resume on Monday 21st June at 2.00 p.m. Until then, please be assured that Absent Healing will continue to be sent daily to every soul.
Our Annual General Meeting, planned for 21st April, is postponed until Wed. 23rd June at 7.30 p.m.
Under the guidance of Geoff Nunn, our Heath and Safety Officer, all our safety measures will remain in place or be updated as per Government Guidelines.
May I thank those members who have continued to support our beautiful church by the renewal of their annual subscriptions and ask those still to do so, to consider helping us to maintain a strong membership base.
I know that some people are waiting until they feel completely safe to do so before venturing out to a church service, Whenever that time is right for you, we will be delighted to see you.
We were plunged into the Covid experience together, we have lived though it together and now let's walk hand in hand along the pathway to our new post Covid world.
I send Love and Light to that world.
Pat Machin, Church President
