NOTICES

1. We are moving slowly towards producing a new family directory so please could you send any details that have changed to Stephen or Mandy so they can be checked against what we think they are now!! There will be a draft of the new directory at the back of church (or with Mandy) for people to peruse details, add details (and say if there is something they don't like about their entry!). It would be good if everyone could double check carefully please.

2. Start praying in earnest for the right people of God's choice to stand for election to the PCC and as church wardens at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting on April 1st (be sure to put this date in your diary).

3. If you would like to know more about joining the Electoral roll (see page 16 of the magazine), ask David Legg. This is an important part of St John's church life for all.
