ALL SAINTS CHURCH, BAWDESWELL

Thanks to all who supported us over Easter. The Maundy Thursday evening service was very well attended – a re-enactment of the washing of the Disciples feet and the Last Supper took place, and the service closed with the emptying of the Sanctuary of everything but the table, and the switching off of the church lights. It was a very moving service.

On Easter Sunday we had an Easter GiG Service with Easter eggs and egg painting two of the attractions there. It was the only non-eucharistic Easter Sunday service in the Benefice and this attempt to Reach Out seemed to be popular – there were 40 adults and 20 children. Thanks to James , Jane and Katey for providing the music, Louise and Sabina for prayers and the bible reading, Sandi for the eggs to paint and the chocolate nests to eat, Sue for organising the colourful floral displays and everybody else for their help in making it a very happy occasion.

The next GiG is planned for a month’s time on Rogation Sunday when we will be planting some seeds as an activity.

The Annual Vestry Meeting followed by the AGM is to be on Monday 24^th April at 8pm in the church. It will be reported in the next Reeve’s Tale. Just a reminder that the AGM is open to all interested parishioners.
