Carbrooke Church News – May 2017

We send Best wishes to Rev’d Jane, for a speedy recovery from her recent illness.

We hope you all managed a peaceful and relaxing time during the Easter break. We had some lovely weather as we welcomed Bishop Jonathan to the Benefice Palm Sunday Service at Ashill. As well as the blessing of the new lych gate, the Authorised Worship Assistants were blessed, allowing them to lead some of our church services ‘officially’. This is something that will have to be considered more as the number of clergy reduce. We are pleased that Carbrooke has been leading the way in this respect, as we have been holding Lay Services for several years.
The Authorised Worship Assistants from Carbrooke – Julie Denton, David Riley, Hepzibah Shipman, David Saunders, Mark Ward and Angela Weatherill

The fine weather continued into the Easter weekend. The Traditional Easter Meditation on Good Friday was led by Mark Ward. This year the Easter Service was a Lay Led Service with Communion by extension. Although already planned, (with Janes illness, it highlighted that having Lay Leaders can ensure our rural churches stay open, are able to hold services each week and continue to function).
We look forward to:
