Jokes
Not exactly news but ...
While walking along the pavement in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton wool, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: 'Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes.' (I want this line used at my funeral!)
A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. 'Mama, look what I found,' the boy called out. 'What have you got there, dear? 'With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, 'I think it's Adam's underwear!'

Christian Aid Week
The Christian Aid Week collection last month raised a staggering £2,389.89.
This included £201.78 raised from the soup lunches held at the Methodist Church. A very good result - thanks to all collectors (only two roads were uncollected) and to organisers John and Brenda Savage.

St Andrew's approach
This is a great picture of the path to St Andrew's. Well photographed by annedm1 who has a few more photos of Tarvin here.
The trees look great - the photo was taken in February. In summre they form a lovely green arch - very effective for weddings! The doors are now a lot lighter. Bill Turner spent many hours stripping the old varnish and centuries old dirt from inside and out to restore the wood to its original colour.
