Notices
This month’s St Peter’s walk will take place on Tuesday 20th May and will be about 4 miles, based around the village of Stock. We will be meeting at 10.30 in the Stock Village Hall car park, Common Road, Stock, CM4 9NF and concluding with lunch at the Bakers Arms. Please sign the list at the back of church if you would like to join us or call Sheila Hornsby on 07814 303194.
A Parent First Aid course will take place on Saturday 14th June in the Belli Centre. It will be £30 per person and run from 9.30am – 11.30am. Please contact andrea@daisyfirstaid.com if you would like to attend.
Instead of having three charities for us to support during the year, it has been decided to have just one for 2025. Our chosen charity is SNAP, which is based in Brentwood for families with children and young people who have any additional need or disability. There is more information on the board at the back of church. Coloured charity envelopes are available for you to make a donation to support SNAP.
South Weald Patronal Festival 2025 – Living Stones – main events are over the weekend of 28-29 June. The Festival relies on a huge amount of support from our congregation and we need help in various areas, details of which will be given to you over the next few weeks. To begin with: Can you help deliver leaflets to the parish advertising our Patronal Festival? If so, please sign up for a street on the list at the back of church. Leaflets should be available in early June.
Neil Hornsby, our Sacristan, looks after various aspects of our services, including the following:
– do you wish to add a name to the weekly Intercessions List
– do you wish to receive gluten free wafers at Communion
– if you have mobility issues and wish to take Communion in your pew
For any of these, please speak to a sidesperson, churchwarden or email Neil direct (neilahornsby@outlook.com 07980 941650).
