Passover Meal 2010
On Maundy Thursday we held a
Passover Meal in St John’s

probably eaten at the last supper.
We included all the usual foods of the Seder meal of lamb, egg, fresh greens,
bitter herbs, matsos, apple and red wine. Our Supper was merged with a Communion service.
About forty people attended the event,

SUNDAY 23RD APRIL AT 6.30pm IN
ST. BOTOLPH’S
A special service was held to
celebrate a remarkable 50 years of Reader Ministry by Arthur Webster. The
Preacher was the Right Reverend John Stroyan, Bishop of Warwick. The Mayor
of Rugby was in attendance. Arthur has been a Reader in this parish for
longer than most folk can remember - and for longer than many of us have been
alive! His contribution to the life of our parish has been, and continues
to be, enormous. Over the years he has worked with five different Vicars
of the parish. Over two hundred people attended this wonderful event,
during which Arthur was presented with a tie and a voucher for a Hot Air Balloon
Ride!
