Notices found in Church Newsletters – that didn't quite come out right! 

Sadly, Lucy remains in hospital and is awaiting more blood transfusions. She is also having trouble sleeping and has requested tapes of the vicar's sermons. 

The Rector will preach his farewell message after which the choir will sing, “Break forth into joy”. 

Irving Benson and Betty Carter were married in church last weekend. So ends a friendship that began in their schooldays. 

Eight new choir robes are required due to the addition of several new members and the deterioration of some older ones. 

Ladies are requested not to have children in the church kitchen. For those who have children and don't know it, we have a crèche and nursery in the crypt. 

Don't let worry kill you – let the church help
