On Easter Saturday Pam organised an Easter egg hunt in and around St Lawrence, Napton. She and Dick did an amazing job of hiding eggs in every available space, so much so that we will be finding them for a while yet. Several families came to take part in the hunt, one en route from Orkney!! Jayne organised some craft activities and everyone had the chance to make baskets for the children to collect eggs in. The grown-ups were well looked after with a plentiful supply of coffee and cakes. It was lovely to have a buzzing church for a good couple of hours.

A time to reflect on the past and look forward to the future

We are now well into the season of our Annual Parochial Church Meetings (APCMs).  These are important meetings for the whole church and wider community if we are to maintain the buildings in each of our villages.    The meetings are an opportunity to review the activities of the past year, to elect people onto the Parochial Church Council (PCC) and to look forward to the events planned for the next year.

It is with great sadness that we heard this week that Beryl Griffin passed away on 7th March. Beryl played the organ at St Lawrence for over 60 years until ill health prevented her from carrying on, earlier last year. She will be missed hugely but never forgotten.

Her funeral will take place at St Lawrence Church, Napton on Thursday 17th March at 11am and everyone, is of course, very welcome.

We all pray that Beryl will rest in peace but will also be experiencing the joy of being re-united with Jesus.
