HEALTH & SAFETY
Read and digest the
contents of the Fire Evacuation Notices near the Exits. If the Fire Alarm
sounds, leave by the nearest Exit and assemble in Palace Avenue Gardens.
DON’T
FORGET….. the church is open every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday morning from 10.00 to 12.00
Please make use of this in any way you would find helpful; come and sit quietly
for a few minutes; pray or ask for prayer for yourself or others. There are
always people available if you would like to talk about anything at all. So, why not make a
visit to
Palace
Avenue Methodist Church on a Monday, Tuesday and/or Wednesday morning – it might be just the
‘oasis’ you need.
Extra help is needed for the coffee mornings
in the church foyer - if anyone can spare the time to help, say, once a month,
this would be appreciated. Helping with coffee mornings can be both
enjoyable and rewarding. Please
contact us for more details.
FLOWER ROTA
There is a new flower
rota in the foyer, if you would like to donate money for flowers please put your
name on the list. We also have a shortage of arrangers, anyone offering to help
would be much appreciated. Freda would also like someone to help her on a
regular basis to move pedestals and tidy up, either Friday evenings or Saturday
mornings. This is due to an unfortunate incident with a pedestal at Christmas!!
HAMELN VISIT
With about 50 friends from Hameln arriving for Holy week WE NEED YOUR HELP.
If you have a spare room and wish to show some good British Hospitality as well
as enjoying a good week of fun, food and friendship please
contact us for further information.
HELP!!
There is a desperate
need for volunteers from the congregation to help with the coffee on a Wednesday
morning in the Foyer. This is an important part of our outreach into the
community around the church. If you can help in any way please
contact us.
THANKS
The Church would like to express their sincere thanks to Mandy Rosevear for her
dedication and enthusiasm as a steward, unfortunately Mandy has had to resign
due to family commitments.
