Next Sunday 13th Septem­ber Fr Philip is bap­tising baby Albert, the son of friends of his fam­ily dur­ing the 9.30am ser­vice. We are expect­ing between 40–50 extra people, so it would be appre­ci­ated if most of us who usu­ally park in the church grounds would park else­where.

The fam­ily are using the hall for a recep­tion for their guests after the ser­vice and they are expect­ing a cater­ing van which will require a park­ing space near the hall entrance. Please do not double park in the car­park.

We will go to the rect­ory garden after church for morn­ing tea as guests of the Chiew fam­ily, who are provid­ing a saus­age sizzle. The pews at the rear of the church near the font will be required for the fam­ily and friends attend­ing the bap­tism, so they can more eas­ily see Albert being bap­tised.

And there will be a num­ber of small chil­dren attend­ing and using the foy­er as a play area, so please leave this area vacant. We are sure every­one will make Albert, his fam­ily and friends most wel­come!
