Toddler Tunes this week
Calling all parents and caregivers of preschoolers longing for the real start of Spring! Come to Toddler Tunes this Wednesday (10.30am in the hall), and see your little ones moving to music and playing together while you get some networking in with the adults and relax over home-made morning tea. As usual, we would love to see you all.
In case you missed it…
You missed Rev Meg’s final service at H.I.? Wait! There’s another chance to say goodbye at the Nor’Wester Cafe this Thursday (31/8), where Meg will be available for coffee and a chat from 10.00am to 12 noon. In the meantime, here’s three pics from Sunday.

Farewell to our Rev Meg
We’re inviting all parishioners and members of the wider community – anyone who appreciates Rev Meg – to come along to Holy Innocents church this Sunday 27/7 at 9.30am and help us give Meg a good send-off with our thanks for all she has done in her three years as our vicar, and our blessings for her future ministry. Mums and caregivers from the Toddler Tunes group – you are most welcome. After Sunday’s church service, we’ll present Meg with some gifts as a small token of our thanks and then have a lovely morning tea. There will be a card to sign. (Regular parishioners please bring some morning tea to share if you can and would like to.) Please come, one and all!
Toddler Tunes this week
Brrr… it’s been a cold school holidays. As the next school term begins (and we hurtle towards the joys of Spring not too far away now), let’s get the little ones moving to some music! Bring them along to Toddler Tunes this week and relax with morning tea while your little ones play. 10.30am in the parish hall on Wednesday as usual. We would love to see you all.
Easter services
Come join us and journey through the darkness of the cross to the light of the resurrection
PALM SUNDAY SERVICE
We will gather at 9.30am this Sunday (13th April), starting outside our parish hall, where the “palm” branches and our palm crosses will be blessed and we’ll hear a reading from Luke’s gospel about Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. Then we will together slowly process, singing, around the church grounds and into Holy Innocents church, for the service of prayer, song, music to listen to, and poetry on the theme of Palm Sunday. We’d love to see you.
GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE
This is an ecumenical service on Good Friday 18 April. Starting at 9:30am outside the Amberley library we will all process, carrying a cross in turns, to the Presbyterian church where Rev Robert will lead the church ministers and people in a short service of remembrance of the horrors of the cross and Jesus’ death. A shared lunch will follow.
EASTER DAY
On Easter Day, Sunday 20 April, we will have at Holy Innocents church at 9:30am an Eucharist to celebrate Jesus rising from the dead and bringing new life. It remembers how the resurrection fundamentally changed the course of human history and God’s story with His people. Hot cross buns follow.

It’s a great movie to enjoy together. It would be awesome for you to join us – in the (well-heated) Anglican hall on Church Street, Amberley. See you there!
