Church News
St. John’s Eco Team
As you may well realise, the Eco Team’s work is growing! We are so grateful for the support that we get from so many people, and it would really help us if we had a Friends Group: a group of keen supporters that we could contact directly through a What’s App message whenever we need some help for a particular project. We appreciate that lots of you are very busy and wouldn’t be able to help us every time but it would be great to have a group of people that we could call on when needed! If you would like to be part of this, please chat to Bev, Suzanne, Jane or myself directly, or contact us via eco.stjohnsandiway@gmail.com. Alison
Easter Flowers
As usual the church will be decorated with daffodils. We plan to pick them from the Daffodil Farm at Whitegate & give a donation towards St Luke’s Hospice. Donations towards the cost of the daffs would be greatly appreciated, either to Jen Oakley , Ali or Rev Ruth .Thank you in advance for your support.
