We will meet inside the Good Shepherd if it’s raining. Let’s hope we can experience the joys of outdoor contemplation in August. New people always welcome to join.

And finally…
It was a joy to have the Vivace choir singing at the church last Saturday. Pimms and strawberries with cream were an extra delight. Thank you to Hilary for organising this event, and all her helpers. It raised £346.84 for church funds!
Blessings and prayers for you all this week. I work half-time and the days I am usually available are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday (morning).
