THE good news of Easter is still fresh in our minds. The good news here is that we carry on as normal, “normal” having been redefined at the Church Times as profoundly as it has been elsewhere.

There is no need, then, for any particular notices this week. Simply reminders that another “Lift Up Your Hearts” is available here in A4 format for easy download, printing, and distribution if anyone wishes.

Our sub­scription offer — ten issues for £10 — continues, even though it is costing us money (visit www.churchtimes.co.uk/subscribe, email subs@churchtimes.co.uk, or phone Tracey on 01603 785911), or there is the Easter offer below.

Our Advertising department remains open for business (Classified/Jobs desk: ads@churchtimes.co.uk or on 020 7776 1010).

Church House Bookshop continues to fulfil orders by post — postage and pack­ing are free — (consult www.chbookshop.co.uk for the latest information, email bookshop@chbookshop.co.uk, or phone 0845 0176965).
