As well as electing our officers for the coming year and reporting back on the life of the church we shall consider the Diocesan Initiative of

Children & Communion, a merger

of our Deanery of Hawkesbury

with the Dursley Deanery,

and our carbon footprint

and fairtrade record.

We also hear reports about the various aspects of church life and church activity. And when you hear it all put together it makes you realise how active our churches really are in our communities. So a little moment of celebration is quite appropriate on these occasions. Come and help us celebrate as well.

The now traditional egg roll took place following the later 11am service when painted hardboiled eggs were rolled down the steep church pathway called 'The Stank'. Chocolate eggs were the rewards for holders of the three eggs that rolled the furthest!

The Experience of Easter began in Wickwar with a children's activity day. Amongst the activities were card making, bead design, decorating wooden crosses and painting a giant picture of the Risen Christ. Each person had a fragment to reproduce. The 'tiles' were then stuck together to form the finished giant picture. The image will hang in church for the duration of the Easter season as a reminder of the Easter message of hope in the Risen Lord.
