News of Derby
We have been able to send Derby the donation raised by the congregation. So thank you for your support. Please continue to hold him in your prayers as he navigates this difficult time. The following is from Derby:
'I am extremely grateful to you to have taken the initiative to support me in that difficult moment I am facing. I am grateful to the whole parish church. It means a lot for me to see that I am not being left alone by my friends from the parish church in Liverpool. A temporary support can have a positive impact for a lifetime. Thank you to everyone at the parish church, I am staying positive and I will keep looking for opportunities to cross this impasse of my life. But the most important thing is that I can feel that I am not alone.'

Altar Of Repose Maundy Thursday
As is our practice, we will be having an Altar of Repose as part of our Maundy Thursday liturgy. If you would like to give a lily in memory of a loved one for this we are suggesting a donation of £5. The names of the departed will be displayed beside the altar, so please sign the sheet in the Narthex listing those who you wish to be remembered. Pat will collect the money for this. If you do not wish to do this , but would like to make a contribution towards Easter flowers instead, the donations box will be on the refreshments table for the next few weeks. Contributions can also be made via the office.
Easter Garden
The children ( with their responsible adult), are invited to come to church on Holy Saturday, 19 April at 10am to help build the Easter Garden. It would be lovely to see as many of our Sunday School children as possible. We anticipate it taking no more than an hour.
