Our service is giving thanks and celebrating the life of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.  Annette is joined by the Little Paxton Parish Council Chairman, Jean Matheson, Kathy Bishop who sings so beautifully, and Stuart McCarthy who plays the organ for us.  We are truly grateful for their contributions this week, and also to Mel Eyeons and Mary Parnham who shared their memories of meeting Prince Philip.  Thanks also to the bell ringers in each of our four churches who tolled a bell 99 times in memory of the Duke.  Click on the link below for the service:

Our weekly newsletter for Sunday 18th April 2021 we are remembering Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.  Our services reflect this, and give thanks for his life.  Take time to read Annette's reflections.

Keeping in Touch Edition 55

Little Paxton Parish Council have set up an online book of condolence in remebrance of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh who sadly died last week.  You can submit a message to the public online Book of Condolence by visiting their website www.littlepaxtonparishcouncil.gov.uk  Once the period of mourning has ended, the Council will print the Book and have it bound to be kept in the Little Paxton Parish Council's archive.

A letter of condolence will be issued to Buckingham Palace from the Chairman of the Parish Council and will advise that a Little Paxton Book of Condolence has been created.  If you are a resident of Little Paxton and would like to sign the Book but are unable to complete the form, please contact the Parish Council and they will endeavour to assist you.

Flowers

In accordance with public health advice, members of the public are asked to continue to follow current government covid guidelines, particularly on avoiding meeting in large groups to keep themselves and others safe.  Instead of laying flowers you may wish to make a donation to a charity of your choice, or one of the Duke of Edinburgh's patronages in memory of His Royal Highness.  A list of those supported by the Duke of Edinburgh can be found here:

Thank you.

Here is the link to this weeks' Sunday Service for Easter Day 4th April 2021!  This week Annette is joined by Mel Eyeons (LLM), at St James Church Little Paxton.  Also, Ursula Van Leeuwen-Hill joins us in her beautiful garden beside Great Paxton Church and she reads the Gospel (John 20 vs 1-18 when Mary meets with the risen Lord in the Easter Garden) and Ursula shares her thoughts on how important HOPE is for us all.

To enable Annette to have a well-deserved short break, the next Sunday YouTube service and KIT will be on Sunday 18th April.  On behalf of so many, may we take this opportunity to say thank you to Annette and Mel for their YouTube services during the last 12 months which have brought joy and helped so many to keep in touch with the Lord through difficult and unprecedented times.
