Brede Village Voice

- As it was stated last week, there has been a custom for several years now to have lilies and other flowers for the Easter period in St George’s Church dedicated to someone that you wish to be remembered. Orders can be placed now, so, if you would like to make a donation and have a dedication for someone please let Mrs. Betty May know (01424-882667) as soon as possible and by March 25 at the latest. Although the cost is being kept as low as possible, lilies will be £2.25 per stem, donations are at the discretion of the individual person.
