A very warm welcome to everyone attending services at Holy Rood and St Edmund’s today, especially to the two families whose children are being baptised at St Edmund’s this morning.  If you are new please do introduce yourself to a minister or member of the welcome team  - there is also a welcome and information point in the main hall at Holy Rood at coffee time.

The children start in church at Holy Rood today and then join their groups in the Church Centre.

At Holy Rood we do not take a collection during services but ask you to place your gifts in the box as you enter or leave the church, completing a Gift Aid envelope if you are a taxpayer. Planned giving, by standing order, is by far the most effective way to give to the church. To find out how to go about this please contact our treasurer’s assistant Jane Dilloway or the church office.
