Do you have a favourite hymn that you rarely get the chance to sing? In addition to the new request box at the back of church, we are pleased to offer you another opportunity to select the music and exercise your vocal chords. Join us for Hymns & Pimms (or a non-alcoholic alternative!) on Saturday 9 July at 3pm in the church. The afternoon will include an afternoon tea and a great chance to purchase plants, cakes and much more! More details to follow soon. Lis Burns

Plant Stall Saturday 9 July at 3.00pm – A bit late this year but unavoidable, so 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.
