REMEMBERING GOOD FRIDAY
On Good Friday, we have an opportunity to witness to the significance of Christ’s sacrifice on behalf of all mankind. In addition to services held at individual churches, there will be a gathering in Higginson Park at 10.40 am for prayer and praise. This will be followed by a public Walk of Witness up the High Street to an all-age service at the Methodist Church at 11.30 am. The procession will walk behind the cross, and leaflets with an invitation to come to an Easter service at one of the churches will be handed out to bystanders. It is hoped that all church members who are able to take part will support this united act of witness.
CHRISTIAN AID WEEK
Arrangements for Christian Aid Week are in hand, and volunteers from the churches will be carrying out an envelope-drop to homes in Marlow, Marlow Bottom and Little Marlow. The envelopes will contain details of the return drop-off points, as well as URL and QR code links so that online donations can be made to a Christian Aid website. A fundraising concert will be held at Christ Church URC on Sunday 11th May at 7 pm, with singers and musicians from Taplow Youth Choir. Last year, the total returns from the activities arranged by the Marlow Christian Aid Group amounted to £4430 including Gift Aid.
The Bix Walk the Country event will take place on Saturday 3rd May. Walk 5 or 10 miles in the beautiful Oxfordshire countryside, and raise money for Christian Aid by getting sponsorship or making a donation. The walk starts and finishes at Bix Village Hall, Rectory Lane, Bix RG9 6DH, between Henley and Nettlebed. Route maps are provided with registration between 9.30 am and 1 pm. Car parking and refreshments are available. For more information contact Rosemary on [email protected] or 07749 064825.

PANCAKE DAY 2025
Over 100 hungry customers dropped-in to enjoy delicious soups and pancakes, and engage in animated conversation with old and new-found friends at the Methodist Church. Once again, Liz Ferris managed the arrangements leading up to the event and on the day itself. Huge thanks are also due Liz Riches, manager of the Ark Café, and volunteers from the churches, who worked hard to ensure that everyone was satisfied. |
