ST MARY’S: Friday Club for Years 5 and 6 children enjoyed a beautiful summer evening walk and mini picnic to the Mill Post last Friday. The last meeting this term is tonight with activities and a barbecue from 6.30pm to which parents are invited from 7.15pm. We begin again on September 8 with new Year 5s able to join us, in the Church Room. Details from Rosemary Colebourn nearer the time. A music workshop will take place tomorrow morning (Saturday) at the church from 9.30am. Singers and musicians are invited to discuss all aspects of music in services at St Mary’s. Sunday services: 8am Holy Communion, 10am Eucharist and 6.30pm Evensong. The monthly Tea Time Service takes place this week, 4pm on Sunday. A short story from the bible, some songs and games; all followed by tea time snacks for all. Mother’s Union at St Mary’s: the next meeting is on Tuesday 18th at 7.30pm in the church room where a speaker from the Bevern Trust in Barcombe will be the guest. Visitors are always welcome to these gatherings which start with a short service and prayers and end with refreshments. It is with great sadness that St Mary’s says a fond farewell to the Revd Lucy Hollingsworth who will be continuing her training elsewhere in the Diocese. Lucy has been a fabulous curate and will be greatly missed by Beth and the congregation and we wish her well in the next stage of her training.
COMMUNITY COLLEGE: We have a Summer Music Concert at the college on Wednesday starting at 6.30pm. We would love members of the community to attend. Tickets are available from our Reception priced at £4 for adults and £2 for under 12s. We hope to see you.
