Drypool Echo. There’s a good article this month in the Parish mag., written by Wiggy, following her week at Spring Harvest. Do read it – it’s good. If you’re not sure about payment etc, put an extra 30p in the collection sometime. Also, remember Norman’s appeal for articles for future months. He’d love to hear from you on stormin@stormin.karoo.co.uk If you’re not sure, why not have a word with him first.

Confirmation. Following her baptism in February, Bethany Carter would like to be confirmed. I’m happy for that to happen, and it will be on Sunday June 1st at St Michaels, Marfleet Lane (just off Holderness Road). Time 6.30 p.m. Do come and support her. If there is anyone else thinking about taking this step, have a word with me in the first instance.
