The cost is 3.99 per egg, order forms are on the welcome desk and all orders need to be placed by Sunday 12th February. Newsletter In an attempt to reduce costs we are experimenting by printing the newsletter in black and white. New Song Worship Over the next few weeks the worship team will be learning some new songs. To introduce them to the congregation we will be having a New Song Worship on the evening of February 26th at 6.30 pm. Mark it in your diary so that we can all learn them together, and if you want to test a calling to be in the worship team this would be a good introduction. Come along and Worship the Lord sing a new song.
