The evening will begin with Worship, and continue with a talk on ‘What Makes John so different to Matthew, Mark and Luke?’
Tea and coffee will be served.

There will be fun for all the family at our Family Fun Day and Summer Fête, which will take place on Sunday 15th June.
The Fête will be held in and around the Parish Centre from 2.00 — 5.00pm and will have the usual stalls (no white elephant) and much outdoors fun too.
We will have bouncy castles, alongside burgers and hotdog stalls. This will undoubtedly be a fantastic afternoon and a great way of raising much-needed funds for the Parish. The stalls, like before, will be manned by representatives of the various organisations.
Please make sure to keep this date free in your diary as it is really important for our Parish. As well as being a great Parish get together, the Family Fun Day and Parish Fête will be main means of fundraising this year.

We have three services on Easter Sunday this year.
Once again we join with the other Christian parishes in Clontarf to celebrate the Risen Lord at a sunrise ecumencial service. The service takes place at 6.10am at the Yacht Club slipway on Clontarf Road, and all are welcome.
At 8.30am we have a Festival Holy Communion in our Parish Church on Seafield Road West.
At 10.30am, again in the Parish Church, we have a Parish Family Festival Service with a Children’s Talk - why not join our Parish Family in celebrating Easter - all are welcome.
Our 12 noon service on Good Friday is a youth service by and for the young people of the Parish. The service will be led by Susan Connolly, our Youth and Children’s Pastor, and music will be provided once again by the band Scripture.
All are welcome.
The 2008 General Vestry took place in the Parish Centre on 9th March, after the 10.30 service.
