A message from Jean Stewart:
Our Lay Reader, Pam Thompson, devised and led a lovely service for Mothering Sunday with Peter Evans playing the organ. Jennifer Elton very kindly provided a pot of polyanthus for everyone in the congregation, a lovely gesture which she has done for a lot of years. Pam together with Jennifer’s Grandson, Peter Lally, distributed the pots during the service. Thank you, Jennifer and Peter, for your kindness.
At the time of writing the Hot Cross Bun Coffee Morning has not taken place and so a report on that will be in the May edition of Quintet News.
WEST RUNTON
Due to Monday 1st April being Easter Monday the next meeting of the “3C’s Club” will take place on Monday 8th April immediately following the Service of Holy Communion taking place at 10.00am for the Annunciation of Our Lord to the Blessed Virgin Mary. We look forward to seeing you there.
Our Coffee Mornings recommence on Friday 5th April in the Church Hall, West Runton from 10.00am to 12 Noon so do come along and enjoy some refreshment, a natter, and a couple of hours of relaxation.
Lent Lunches – Thank you to everyone who supported the Lent Lunches. At the time of writing we do not have a final figure of how much was raised but will report on this in the May edition of Quintet News.
BEESTON REGIS
Change to Time of Service – The PCC agreed at its recent meeting to support a proposal to bring the 9.15am service in line with the times of its other 3 monthly services, i.e. 11.00am. This, it was believed, would make it easier for parishioners and visitors to recall start times and simplify publicity. Following consultation with those who typically attend the 9.15am service, the change will now be implemented as soon as is practical, most probably from the start of May. It should be noted that there will be no change to the format or style of the service – it is only the time that will change.
Thank you to the Ministry Team who have expressed willingness to adjust rotas and commitments to facilitate this change.

LOCAL NEWS
Sheringham & District Philatelic Society — Our March meeting had a varied menu. Members displayed material from the Australian Antarctic Territory, Commonwealth George V and VI – including an unusual military-use air cover, five famous women (celebrating World Women’s Day), penguins, Spanish postal labels and Australia 1970s and 1980s starting with Captain James Cook.
Clear lettering in designs was discussed – one Antarctic stamp seemed to read “Home of the buzzard”, which seemed odd, but with difficulty we could just decipher “Home of the blizzard”. There was audible audience admiration for the women’s achievements, particularly when Elizabeth Garrett Anderson was mentioned. Seven types of penguins were imaginatively shown within a figure 7. Amongst the Spanish items was a design showing Queen Isabella dressed as a nun. All good fun.
Our next meeting takes place on Monday 8th April at 7.30pm at the Church Hall, West Runton and will include award-winning material featuring Morocco Agencies. All are welcome to attend!

Joining the choir offers the opportunity for less experienced singers to gain confidence and improve their singing whilst giving those with more experience opportunities to expand their repertoire and be challenged.
