COFFEE MORNING

We are holding our coffee morning on Wednesday 8^th May in St Ippolyts Parish Hall Committee Room from 10.30am until noon. All are welcome to join us where local friends come together sharing company and stories. We will also be celebrating our 'lovely crossing lady' Margaret Stokes who will be receiving a long service award at the end of April. This is for her loyalty to children and families helping us all cross the main road safely during the busy mornings and afternoons. If you would like a lift to the Hall, please 'phone Joan Pinkstone on 01462 457660.

We would like to thank all those who helped to decorate St Ippolyts Church and celebrate Easter with beautiful fresh arrangements. All these together with the lily arrangements at the altar and pulpit were most welcome after many weeks of Lent when there were no flowers in the church at all. The garden arrangements made by children of St Ippolyts School and placed in the Church porch were wonderful and, reminded us of the empty tomb announcing that Christ has risen.
Thank you to all who helped to spring clean St Ippolyts Church. The high up cleaning was manned by those who were happy to climb ladders and the following day others came to clean lower down.

Clare’s family gathered on Sunday 14^th April 2024 to lay her ashes in their final resting place at St Ippolyts Cemetery. Among those gathered was her sister Mary, who had flown over from America to be there and her brother, the Revd Canon Richard Leslie, who led prayers.
