THIS Sunday there will be a Palm Sunday (United) Celebration Service at St Peter's Church, Powick at 11am.

Churches have been asked by the Archbish-op of Canterbury to make a collection for the Addington Fund, which will aid farmers

A collection will be held at the church on Palm Sunday.

Services for Holy Week are on Monday, April 9, at Powick at 8pm; Tuesday, April 10 at Guarlford at 8pm; Wednesday, April 11 at Callow End at 8pm and on Maundy Thursday the Last Supper will be celebrated at Madres-field at 8pm.

On Good Friday services will be at Guarlford at 12 noon, and Powick Church at 2pm. Powick Church will be decorated for Easter from 3.15pm on Good Friday, April 13.

A second leader is needed to run the 7th Worcester Scout Group, which meets in Powick parish hall on Thursdays. Please contact Mike Phillips (01905) 358637 or Suzanne Hutchinson (01905) 831077) if you can help. After 25 years it would be a shame to see the group fold for lack of a leader.

1st Powick Brownies welcomed six new Brownies. They were Lindsey Brassington of Powick, Nicola Grif-fiths and Jeannie Gibson of Byron's Wood, Bethany Allard and Leila Cattell from Callow End School and Pia Lowe of Powick School. Two Brownies, Sarah Bickerton and Elizabeth Wood, prepared and served refreshments and drinks. As a result they gained their Cooks and Hostess badges. This Friday is the last meeting before Easter and the new term begins on Friday, April 27.

Congratulations to Ben Green, Oliver Endacott and Matthew Hipwell of the Chase High School Under 15 rugby side who beat Nunnery Wood High School in the final of the Worcester Schools District Cup at Sixways, Worcester recently. All three are past pupils of Powick Primary School.
