Easter Flowers
The flower Group will shortly be decorating the church for Easter. We would be very grateful for assistance towards the cost of the flowers. If you wish to contribute there is a plate at the back of the church for donations, or they may be given to Maureen Stancliffe. Thank you for your help.

Stewards Needed
We are planning the annual ‘Walk of Witness’ on Good Friday, this is always a good natured, well attended event that requires little from the stewards who get to wear a High-Viz Jacket, apart from walk on the outside of the column and stand at the back of the crowd when we stop. Anyone who would like to be a steward, please contact Michael Hare

EVE
I regret to say that I have been too busy with work and family commitments to organize an Eve event this year, despite having interesting ideas from members at the Christmas drinks get together in December.
Domini feels unable to commit herself to organising events in the future, and I am not willing to continue on my own. We have not had a fantastic response since the questionnaire last year, even though the majority of you did not want to see Eve coming to an end.
If anyone feels able and willing to take over either Domini or I would be happy to talk about it, otherwise the Eve group will unfortunately no longer be able to continue.

In support of St James' Church please bring your family to a Ceilidh in the Methodist Church Hall on Saturday 15^th May 7.30-22.30pm. More details to follow!
