General News for both parishes (unless stated)

TAX YEAR END - thank you very much to all who have given to St Mary's through our various giving schemes during the last year. Please check your pigeon holes for a letter, particularly if your giving has been gift-aided.

ST MARY'S SIDESMEN: The rotas for the next quarter are in your pigeon holes.

Election of Churchwardens at St Mary's. There will be a brief extraordinary Vestry Meeting following the 10.30am Service at St Mary's today, so that Churchwardens may be elected for Dunmow. One Nomination (for Sydney Smith) has been received and other Nominations are invited. The appropriate Forms are available at the back of church. Completed Forms should be given to David Ainge before the start of the Vestry Meeting.

THE BIG PICTURE: Take Two! Following the success of the last film, we are showing another on Friday June 27th at 7.30pm at the Dunmow Arts Centre, Haslers Lane. The film is 'Once' a story about two would be musicians in modern Dublin. It has been described by critics as 'a film that will warm your soul'. To find out more about the film and see the trailer, go to www.opendoordunmow.org

A PARTY WITH A DIFFERENCE !On Sunday June 29th at 3.30pm we are inviting all the families who have had children baptised in the last two years back to church for a short fun service with a puppet theatre followed by tea and games in the Vicarage garden. It would be good to have some members of the congregation present as well - if you would like to come please speak to Mark. If you can help with catering please contact Jay. If you can help with games please speak to Jo Parker (873239).

Cake-making. The marathon has started! The Countess of Warwick Show (August 24th & 25th)is now only 11 weeks away. St Mary's is, again, providing the Cake Stall combined with refreshments. As we discovered last year, mountains of cakes can be moved! However, a mountain of cakes takes a lot of baking! An early start will help. Bake now … freeze for later …. and be ready for the summer rush. Further advice and information is available from Vera Davies or David Ainge.

Remember the Rev. Noel Mellish, VC, MC. At 3.00pm on Thursday 19th June a bronze plaque commemorating this former Vicar of Great Dunmow will be unveiled by the Mellish family near to the War Memorial in the High Street. If you're available, come and share in this glorious one-off event.
