A big thank you to the Bishop of Basingstoke for visiting the Benefice today and taking this afternoon’s confirmation service, a very special occasion for six young people and their families. The candidates included Edward Bishop who, together with his family, worship at St Martin’s. The service was particularly fulfilling as it had had to be postponed several times because of the pandemic and the consequent restrictions. Thank you to St Thomas’s church for hosting the service.
It is now two months since we have been able to resume services in church although under controlled conditions, which include allowing only the choir to sing within the church. Singing outside is allowed and, weather permitting, we are hoping that the final hymn at next Sunday’s evensong service can be sung outside by everyone. So do please join us!
