Dear Worshippers and Friends of St. Clement’s,

It was good to see many of you for one or more services last week. We had an exceptionally good number on Maundy Thursday and Easter Sunday the latter being attended by 133 people in total. I will be travelling now to visit my extended family and attend the ICS Chaplains and Families conference in Belgium – that’s the reason you are receiving this message earlier than you usually do.
