Contact [email protected] The last few weeks have been good to go out into the garden as the weather was suitable this last week however was cold and sometimes wet, we can’t complain as the gardens really needed the water.

Last Saturday evening a swarm of bees landed on a gravestone at St Georges luckily Wendy and Jamie noticed whilst locking up the Church. A number of phone calls were made then thankfully Rob answered and went to rescue them. He safely took the bees away, However he had to go back the next morning early, before Church began to retrieve a few stragglers.

Sunday 20 April Easter Sunday I wish all the readers a very HAPPY EASTER at St George’s Brede following the Easter service at 10.45am taken by Rev Barry Carter. There will be a Dragon Egg Hunt at 10.45am this has proved very popular in the past, so we hope to see lots of children with their mums and dads at the service, as the Dragon hunt can start at the conclusion of the service. There are refreshments after the service before everyone can go out and hunt baby dragons I wonder who will be lucky enough to find their mummy dragon. It will be £1 to enter the hunt for each person inc. adults. Dragons will have creative things for children to do in the Church and there will also be Easter biscuits with the drinks. Children of Primary school age and their younger siblings can join Dragons if they wish it is every 3rd Sunday at St George’s Brede at 10.45 Joanne Cosson is the leader, just turn up with one of your parents.
