Stop Press!

The Friends of St Peter’s A.G.M. is planned for Friday May 17th, 7.30 p.m., Needham Village Hall. David Cunliffe, who has been our treasurer since the Friends were formed, will definitely not be standing for re-election to the Committee. Clearly he will be a great loss. Without his enthusiastic contributions, especially these last few years, the Friends may well have folded. None of the present committee is prepared to take on the treasurer role and, not to put too fine a point on it, if we cannot find a replacement treasurer, sadly we will not be able to continue as an organisation. I am happy, if elected, to continue chairing the Friends if we have a treasurer, but if there is a Needham resident who would like to take the chairmanship on I am equally happy to simply serve on the Committee if required. The Friends exist to raise money for building repairs and improvements to St Peter’s. Church attendance is not a precondition of being a Friend. If you feel that St. Peter’s building is worth preserving do please give this serious consideration. If you would like to find out more please contact me on 01379 853284, or email clive.hudson@talktalk.net,

Ramblings from the Rectory

March can be cold but it can also be when the first signs of spring can be seen. If we get some mild March weather, I will start to see my bees out and foraging once again. The cold may not have gone in March but at least there are likely to be signs that warmth and light are on their way once again. Hopefully, March will see me out on my motorbike more.

March ends with  Easter day (March 31st). A time to celebrate new life and light to the world. Jesus is risen from the dead to show that even death is not the end. Easter is a time of hope and happiness. So at the end of March I hope you enjoy your chocolate eggs and rabbits and remember the gift of new life that they symbolise.

Christ is risen. He is risen indeed!   God bless you, now and always,

Nigel.
