The Crown Court spring clean will be held on Saturday 28 April.  Please make a note of new date and make a resolution to come along and give a helping hand.  No experience is necessary, and cleaning materials are provided, as are lunch and regular tea breaks to keep us going!  It’s all good fun and you get to see parts of the church you never knew existed and to get to know some new people.

The third of this year’s series of lectures, with the theme “Belonging Together?”, will be held on Tuesday 17 April at 7.30 pm at Hinde Street Methodist Church.  The speaker is Ann Morisy, and the subject is “Playing fair across the generations”.

Longer-standing members of the congregation will remember Winnie, who was a member here for many years, but had lived in a home in Bath for the last seven years.  Winnie died on Sunday 5 February and her funeral will be held at 2.30 pm on Wednesday 29 February at Haycombe Cemetery, Whiteway Road, Bath BA2 2RQ.  No flowers, please, but if anyone would like to make a donation in memory of Winnie, cheques should be made payable to Clarkson’s Donations Account, and sent to Clarkson’s Funeral Directors, 7 Windsor Place, Upper Bristol Road, Bath BA1 3DF.  Proceeds of the donations will be split between Stratton House, the Methodist Home where she spent her last years, and AlAnon, a cause very close to her heart.

The editorial team aims to have the next issue of The Chronicle available for distribution on Sunday 1 April.  Please would all contributors note that the deadline for submission of articles and reports is the same as that for reports for the Annual Business Meeting, ie Sunday 11 March.  Please email your contributions to the Editor, Sheena Tait, at chronicle@crowncourtchurch.org.uk.
