Maundy Thursday service was well attended and the Easter morning service was led by Rev Chris Giles. The church looked lovely with the Easter decorations.

Once again Vince, our quiz supremo, reigned as he hosted a successful evening. Fish and chips (with pie and other alternatives) were enjoyed as brain food before the questions started this year without a picture round. Did you know when the £2 coin was introduced (1997) or can you put the battles of Bosworth, Waterloo, Agincourt and Stamford Bridge in date order from the oldest first? Turned out the winning team "March Hares" could do so. The runners up question to the rest concerned each team working out the square mileage of Lake Ontario and with a lot of low guesses two teams went high with answers of 1800 and 12700 were not close but both were about 5000 miles out. The actual answer of 7550 lead the runners up prize going to team "Lost the Plot." There was also a guess the sweet competition which ended up with two winners who both guessed 192. With thanks to our quiz master Vince and all the rest of the team for a really enjoyable evening which raised £229 for Chapel funds. Our coffee morning has started to see the brighter days. We met to raise £143 for the Sepsis Trust who do so much to make people aware of the its affects and how to deal with it as well as support those who are affected by it. After a slow start, the numbers were quite good with plenty of lovely cakes and treats to eat and a good lot of conversations. The service had been written by Christian women of Palestine this year. They urged us to bear with one another in love, something that must be very difficult in their present circumstances. The choir sang and the church had a lovely decoration which reflected this theme. The service was led by Anne and there was tea and coffee afterwards. |
