NEWS & VIEWS

OUR ORGANIST TODAY A warm welcome and thanks to Alex Coutts, sometime organ scholar at Chingford Parish Church and at Magdalene College Cambridge, who is deputising for John Cox.

CHURCH COUNCIL Our PCC meets on Monday, after Mass at 7.30pm. Please pray for them in their important work for our parish.

LETTER TO HM THE KING Thank you to all who signed the Book of Condolences. This has now been closed and deposited in the parish archives, and a facsimile of it sent to The King. The accompanying letter sent by Fr Gareth on behalf of the parish is on the St Anne altar for those who would like to read it.

FINANCIAL GIVING The Parish Giving Scheme is our new online and phone-based system for financial giving to the church. If you use it, it will save us hours of work (for example, by automatically handling donations and Gift Aid) - a really big help to us. You will have full control of your giving - and there’s no need to deal with your bank. There are flyers at the back of church giving simple instructions - or go online to tinyurl.com/parish-giving for further information. Please do consider seriously helping your church in this way.

EDWARD ARTHUR FELLOWES PRYNNE next Saturday in St Peter’s Church Ealing, an art expert (and Director of the DeMorgan Foundation) is to give a talk on this late-Pre-Raphaelite artist. Commissioned in 1916 by his brother-in-law the Revd Hubert Valentine Eardley-Wilmot, then our Vicar, he painted our beautiful Stations of the Cross, and St Peter’s has a similar painting - Christ Before Pilate. Go to tinyurl.com/EAFPArt or email admin@stpeterealing.org.uk for more information.
