A message from Bruce Clark: Where’s Jan? Some in the Parish Family have been puzzled by the absence of Jan Jones, especially at the 7.30am service. A few weeks ago, totally unexpectedly, Jan moved to accommodation close to her family in Brisbane, without a chance to say good-bye. An involved parishioner for more than 25 years along with her late husband Alan, she shared her faith in many ways including on Parish Council, as coordinator of the Dorcas Group, in various home groups, and with Alan in the instigating of the placement of “the rock” (Matt 16. 18) in front of the church.
There will be an Easter card at the back of the church this Sunday and the next (6th April) if you wish to sign it to assure Jan of our ongoing thoughts and prayers.
UPDATE: An Easter card is in the narthex for those who with to sign
Please keep in mind: Boxes need to be returned as soon as possible
