There is Evening Prayer here this evening at 5pm. For a list of Morning and Evening Prayer times in the week ahead, please see the diary overleaf.
There is Little Tots 0-4 (under 5) Stay and Play every Tuesday during term time, 10am – 12 pm. Possible new volunteers for this, please speak with Lisa E, Robyn, Toby or Andrew.
For the Tots group on Tuesdays we need to lay out foam mats and put up plastic fencing to create a huge rectangle in the centre aisle. If anyone has time to help with this - please stay behind after the APCM to help. It's easy to explain what needs doing.
If you'd like to buy an Easter lily in memory of someone, as part of our Easter decorations, please write their/your name on the sheet at the back of church (£5 per lily). General donations towards Easter flowers are also gratefully received.
Choir practice is now every Tuesday, 7 - 8.30pm. At 7pm we'll do the hymns for the following Sunday and then practice music for Holy Week.
Taizé Lent Groups this year – we're teaming up with St Michael & All Angels, London Fields and Hampden Chapel.

We have three new services:
- a monthly Sunday Service in our church school (Pancake Church!), especially for Primary School aged children (next one 19 April, 10am).
- a monthly Evensong (next one Sunday 3 May, 5pm)
- a monthly Thursday Night Prayer (next one 14 May, 7pm)
We are looking for new volunteers to assist occasionally with our Junior Church and/or Youth Group. (A DBS check and some safeguarding training would be necessary.) Please speak to Lisa-Raine or Estelle for further details.
Would you be willing to help with either of these (a) help laminate & put up posters for Holy Week and Easter 2026 (b) become part of a small group to accompany the Staff Team through Holy Week & Easter 2026 (setting up for services etc). If yes, please speak to Andrew or Robyn.

She is hoping to raise £2980. Any words of encouragement or sponsorship gratefully received! You can sponsor her at: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/uk-kilimanj...
