Notices & Dates for your diary
Maulden School Easter Service
We had a wonderful service on Thursday with the church absolutely full with children, parents and grandparents, which was wonderful to see. The children sang beautifully and told us all about many of the Easter symbols including Palm crosses, Easter Chicks, the Easter Bunny and of course, Chocolate. The service concluded with the year 4 children leading the prayers.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this such a lovely service.

Annual Parochial Church Meeting
The date for this years’ meeting is Sunday May 10th. This will be held in the Church Hall after the morning service starting at 11am
Defibrillator8am said communion services
The PCC have reviewed these services and due to very low numbers have taken the difficult decision to reduce this to once a month. The 8am services will now be on the second Sunday of every month when the 9.30 service is a family service. The PCC will keep this under review.
The church has leased a defibrillator which has been placed outside of the church hall on the lower level. If anyone would like to contribute to the ongoing running costs for this please contact Michael, Sue or Chris. We would like to thank the ‘Sewing Group’ and Tea & Co. for their donation.
