Holy Trinity Chapel will be open every weekday in August from 12 noon – 1pm for quite prayer and reflexion.

Questionnaire about the support for a link with a CMS mission partner or Rug Aid. Many thanks to everyone who gave in the questionnaire – we were really interested to find out your views. Although there was some support for a link, in general it was felt that the time is not right for this at the moment. Following the questionnaire, Rug Aid will be included as a Charity of the Month in future and the idea of a CMS link may be returned to at a later date.

Margaret Tate and the family of the late Bob Tate thank friends, relatives and neighbours for their kind cards, messages of sympathy, flowers and donations to Children with Leukaemia.

Festival of Harvest Some of the Flower Guild will be in church from 10am on Saturday 16th September to decorate for Harvest. On occasion, in the past, fruit and vegetables have been bought to supplement the gifts but since we had so many last year, we shall just rely upon whatever arrives on Sunday. A variation between fresh produce, dried and tins would be most useful for as usual, everything will be taken to The Beacon in support of their ongoing work with the residents. If you have flowers in your garden, they would be a delightful addition. Please come along if you feel you would like to be involved.
