Easter 2 News
A very warm welcome to any new readers, and to visitors and newcomers to St Michael's. A special welcome to Fr Paul, our celebrant this morning, who will also kindly be celebrating Mass for us on Thursday at 10.30 am. If you are new to St Michael's, do join us for tea or coffee in the Vestry Hall after the service, so that we can welcome you properly.
Our Coronation Lunch will take place after Mass on Sunday, May 7th. Do please sign up on the list at the back of church, indicating what you would like to bring! Alison will welcome any offers of help before or after. And it isn't too early to start having ideas for the Strawberry Fair on Saturday, July 1st. Could you help to publicise it, or track down any suitable goodies to be sold or raffled? Have a word with Sara when you can.
Maidstone Bible Week, Tuesday 9th – Friday 12th May. We are among the Maidstone churches who have been asked to publicise this; details and flyers can be found at the back of church. This year's focus is on the Book of Daniel.
Easter Flowers: Thank you, members of the congregation who gave lilies in memory of loved ones. You will find their names listed in the Narthex.
