NOTICES

NOEL’S 80TH BIRTHDAY

“Thank you to everyone for the prayers, cards, emails, texts, letters, gifts and the wonderful group HTPM e-card!

What a great day I had and though I was at home alone in Sunbury,  I did not feel the least lonely but surrounded by love and affection and the good wishes and the warmth of so many people.  I was sorry that we couldn’t have the celebratory morning tea that you had planned for Sunday Church – perhaps later !

I have had a blessed and wonderfully complete eight decades of life and for that I am eternally thankful, and to all those who have been part of this amazing journey I owe much and am forever grateful.

As the Psalmist says  ‘The years of man are three score years and ten, and if strength four score’ – my doctor and I are now together planning to get me through to the next decade !! after all my mother Gladys lived to 95 years ! “

NB *** CHURCH GIVING AND THE PARISH FINANCES ***

Due to the covid lockdown restrictions our Sunday 10am services are currently cancelled.  As a result the offerings  usually given  during the Sunday service cannot be collected.  Can I encourage our parishioners to contribute on a regular basis by using the banking details below.  All of our fundraising efforts have also been suspended, so the need is considerable.     Noel
