News

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Parish Office will be closed this week.

Hymns with Pimms – Saturday 9 July at 3pm in the church. We’ll put together the Pimms and afternoon tea but it’s up to YOU to choose the hymns! Look out for the bidding slips – decide just how much your hymn is worth, fill in a slip and put it in the box provided or hand it to either one of us. The highest 8 bids received by Monday 4th July are guaranteed to have their hymns played on the day. You can keep track of the “bidding war” by checking the chart at the back of church. The afternoon tea will cost £5 and tickets are now available for purchase. Thistle Martin & Lis Burns

Plant Stall Saturday 9 July at 3pm – I do hope the gardeners among you will be able to provide some lovely plants in aid of All Saints’ as usual. Please label items and remember nothing too heavy, too tall, or too tiny as it will not sell. Some more helpers very welcome – especially on the evening of Friday 8th. Some knowledge of plants an advantage! Thanks Rosemary Vere.

Your help wanted
