Rev Jackie
Last week our Curate took a nasty tumble in the back garden of her house and broke her shoulder and wrist (in two places). She is going to be out of action for quite some time. Please hold Jackie in your prayers at this time. We hope the pain eases soon and the recovery is quick.

Given Jackie’s indisposition and the fact that next week is Holy Week there will be no Taize Service on Wednesday.
