Annual Parochial Church Meeting: This will take place in church on Monday 19th May at 6.00 pm. At this meeting reports are given on the business of the PCC in the last year; accounts are approved and elections held for the positions of churchwardens and parochial church council members.
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 churchwarden, 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 opening days of the Lyttelton Well Cafe and Bookshop will be changing. From May we will be closed on Saturdays but open Monday-Friday 10am-3:30pm. We want to say a big thank to you everyone who has supported the Well over the years – staff, volunteers and customers. Until May we’re open Tuesday-Saturday, and our final Saturday will be May 10th – please do come along and support us!
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 26th 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.
