RAISE THE ROOF concert
The church was full on Saturday evening of April 14 with parishioners enjoying
a concert performed by local artists and the church choir. The concert
ended with singing in the style of Last Night at the Proms. The concert
was the first event in a sequence to raise money for repairs of the church
roof including the launch of the 'Sponser a Roof Slate' appeal (see details under Notices).
Easter
As part of the celebrations of Easter, the cross at the entrance of the church
drive, which had been bare during Holy Week, was decorated for Easter Sunday, and the
Experience Easter display in church for The Resurrection was decorated with extra
flowers.
Easter Drawing Competition
Children from Northway, Carrant Brook and Ashchurch schools entered a competition
organised by HOPE to draw and colour an Easter picture. The winner in each category
received a Real Easter Egg.
Visit by Bishop Rachel
Bishop Rachel led a teaching session in church on Sunday
afternoon of 25th March on The Meaning of Lent. Bishop Rachel had taken services
at Trinity church in Tewkesbury earlier in the day and then, after
lunch, led a pilgrimage from Tewkesbury out to Ashchurch, offering
