Messy Church – Saturday 2nd March : “Giving Up?”
Easter Eggs may have been in the shops for months, but we’re only just about to start Lent – the 40 days before Easter.
What’s Lent about and why am I supposed to be giving something up? Come along to Messy Church on Saturday to find out!
Why not bring a friend to explore our theme of “Giving Up?” through our usual mix of Fun, Faith and Food.
We’d love to see you at St Catherine’s on Saturday from 3:30pm.
New electoral roll
Every six years the parish is required to prepare a new electoral roll.
Members previously on the roll must re-apply to be included – inclusion is not automatic. New people may also apply. A person applies by filling out an application for enrolment form which can be found at both churches. Forms must be returned by 17th March 2019.
What is the Electoral Roll and why might you want to join it ? The cartoon below may help.
The PCC of Tilehurst : St Catherine and Calcot : St Birinus regret that the above mentioned Electoral Rock is not available.
