‘Murder Mystery Dinner’ Sat 25th April
A sign-up sheet is at the back of the church. We have achieved the minimum of 24 people to make the dinner feasible but there is still room for more. Remember you can invite friends, family and neighbours. The theme is a weekend cookery course, more in keeping with spring and summer. (see the flyer for details).
MBC Easter Retreat at the Wellspring, Ledbury, Thu 14th May, 10am-4pm Ascension Day.
We are organising another ‘Quiet Day’ at The Wellspring, Ledbury on Thursday 14th May (Ascension Day) with The Ascension and Second Coming as its theme. The day will include teas and coffees, cakes and biscuits, and a ploughman’s style lunch provided by the Wellspring patrons Joe and Cathy Silmon (other dietary requirements can also be catered for).
It has been agreed that the cost will be covered from the Fellowship Fund, but if people want to make a donation the cost will be around £20 per person (including the lunch and refreshments) depending upon numbers. That way no one needs to feel they can’t afford to go. We’ll organise lifts to share cars and provide transport for anyone without a car.
The day is intended to be fun and exciting as well as spiritually uplifting and looking forward to Christ’s Second Coming. In the afternoon we will organise various activities to try out. The surrounding grounds are wonderful for walking if you just want to spend the afternoon with your thoughts and prayers.

Recycling
Following the church meetig and looking at what was tiked on the sheet, Angela has signed up to a recycling programme that will give BBGA money for recycling biscuit and snack wrappers. We can recycle any brand of biscuit, cracker and cake wrappers such as digesties, rich tea etc. This includes the likes of Penguin's etc but not chocolate bars like Mars, Snickers etc, or the inside plastic tray as they are made from a diffrent material. Cardboard innards should go in household recycling. Please bring clean and dry wrappers to church and deposit in the box. We need a kg before we can send a shipment. Each kg earns 200points and we get a 1p per point.

Open the Book
Please pray for a new term of Open the Book, where teams share Bible Stories with children in St Mathias, The Vale, Somers Park, The Grove and The Parish primary schools. Pray for enough volunteers to help each week and that the good news that we share will take root in the hearts and minds of the children and staff who hear it. If you want to know more about Open the Book please speak to Jean.

And finally…
“I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever.
For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths,
from the realm of the dead.”
Ps.85:12-13
