Thanks to all who helped to decorate the church for Easter; and to those who put together the ‘Instruments of the Passion’ display, and to our churchwardens, organists, singers and all who have contributed to our worship during Holy Week and Easter.
Our collection for the work of Acorns Children’s Hospice during March raised £300. Many thanks to all who contributed so generously.
The next ‘LMP 875’ event will be on Tuesday 20th May (2.30 pm) in church, when the Vicar will speak on ‘The bible unpacked.’ Who wrote the bible, and when? How did it reach its current form? Is it all divinely inspired? How should we read the scriptures today? These and other questions will be explored. All welcome – free entry. Please bring a bible with you.
Rogation Day walk – ‘Beating the Bounds.’ You are invited to join this traditional walk when the congregation walks the boundaries of the parish, and prayers are offered for the blessing of the crops. Monday 6th May, starting from Little Malvern Priory at 9.30 am. The route is approximately five miles, and there will be a ‘comfort stop’ on the way. Please bring food and drink to enjoy. Being on the Malvern Hills, there are of course, ups and downs, and two stiles. Walkers participate at their own risk. For further details, please ring Alison Hunka 07763 464305.
