Some dates for your diaries. On Friday 24 April, there's Going for a Sing in the Boniface Centre at 10.30am when this informal singing group will tackle songs by artists whose names begin with B. Then on Saturday 25 April, there is a plant sale together with bric-a-brac and refreshments in the Boniface Centre from 10am to 12noon. Further ahead, there will be an exhibition by the Southwest Quilters in the church from Friday 29 to Sunday 31 May. This promises to be a special event displaying the quilts in our beautiful, historic church. More details in due course.
It's estimated that around 120 people drawn from all the churches in Crediton came together on Good Friday for this year's Walk of Witness when we remember the events leading up to Jesus's crucifixion. Then on Easter Sunday, we celebrated his resurrection - Alleluia!
Holy Cross has received one of three Magnolia trees, given by the Bishop of Exeter to mark the installation of the Most Revd and Rt Hon Dame Sarah Mullally as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury on 25th March. This recognises Dame Sarah's time as Bishop of Crediton. The variety is 'Magnolia Genie' with the photos showing the planting ceremony.
