The Ratcliffe Male Voice Choir performed at the
Church on 5th April 2008. The concert was held in memory of Jack Entwistle |
|
Here are a few pictures taken at our Seder Meal held on the 19th April 2008.
This
event, although Jewish in origin, is a Passover for Christians. It is a
remembrance of the children of Israel’s slavery to the Egyptians and their
eventual release from it.
The
Seder is a service, a meal and a celebration.

2009
For the first time in the last three years this event took
place in warm sunny weather. There were over 60 people attending, many outside
enjoying the sunshine and Molly's beautiful garden. Many volunteers had provided
sandwiches and cream scones and the ever popular "Parsons Pimms" was
provided by our minister Jeff Gould. The event raised over £300 towards our
annual target of £1000 to be donated to the local branch of arc - the arthritis
research charity.
