Whether you will be on the live stream or in church for Palm Sunday, if you want a palm cross you will need to make one! Last year we followed a diagram which wasn’t entirely successful for all. This year, we have a video to follow. We’re looking forward to seeing your creations.

Can you Help?

Croydon Refugee Day Centre are in urgent need of large suitcases for families being moved on from initial accommodation. They can be dropped off at the Day Centre (West Croydon Baptist Church) on Mondays from 10-12. Thank you.

They are also looking for unwanted sewing machines – any type, as long as they work. If you, or anyone else in your church, has one they no longer need it would be much appreciated and well used by our families. The link to their website is: CRDC – Croydon Refugee Day Centre
