Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first suffered pain, and entered

not into glory before he was crucified:  mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace;  through Jesus Christ your Son 

our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and

for ever.

Amen

FUND RAISING EVENT

The St. Anne’s Doddery Daunders fund-raising event in August has now been well covered in the

As excitement mounts over the next few months, the Committee will meet as often as

required to ensure that all potential Dodderers, and those not so Doddery, are fully aware of

The date and importance of this unusual occasion.   The Committee appreciate that

Dodderers may need frequent reminders.
