St Helen's PCC
There are 2 vacancies on St. Helen's PCC, together with the positions of Churchwardens and secretary. It is vital to the continuing running of the Church, that these vacancies are filled, and soon. The APCM is on April 26th, after the morning Eucharist at 11.30am, so it is hoped that committed people will come forward for election to fill these positions.

Christian Aid
Christian Aid "Count your Blessings" leaflets are available in all three Churches. I know many of you have found these useful in the past and hope you will again this year. Please help yourself.
Following the departure of Paul Jenkins & the retirement of David Marrow, we are looking for a new Christian Aid representative for our churches. Offers of help
& further information about this rewarding role please contact David.
Easter Egg Hunt
There will be an Easter Egg Hunt on St Helens Green in and around the play area on the green, and in the Community
Centre, on Easter Saturday 4th April, starting at 2.30pm. This will be organised by Rob and Anthea and will be good fun for all the family.
