A lot has happened over the past six weeks. Thank you to all those have participated and to the organisers.
A week after the Harvest celebration, on the afternoon of 13th October, the Benefice Songs of Praise took place . Hymns were selected from a (long) list of suggestions received during the August services. Each hymn was preceded by a short introduction by the person who chose it, mirroring the BBC Songs of Praise model, which added even greater interest. A big thank you to those who made and served the tea, cakes etc after the service.
The Parish Communion service on 3rd November included a baptism, always an exciting and special occasion. The newest member of our Christian community behaved impeccably throughout!
Then this morning we met at the East End war memorial for our annual Act of Remembrance. Judging by the number of service sheets used, over eighty people attended. Thank you to Christine for leading us and to Tim Cross of the East Woodhay Silver Band for sounding the Last Post followed by the Reveille after the period of silence. Special thanks to the Chipchase, Clifton and Brunsden families for again providing the refreshments afterwards.
