St John the Baptist Parish Church

Our programme for 2017 to 2018 is drawing to a close.  

On Wednesday 11th July we will be holding our annual tea party with entertainment from choir mistress Catherine Bond Smith singing, Sue Edwards on piano and John Burn on clarinet. There will be homemade scones, strawberries and cream. There will be a raffle at each event to raise money for the Mothers’ Union charity, Summer of Hope, which aims to raise £125.000 to make a huge difference to lives all around the world.

If you would like to contribute a raffle prize it would be much appreciated.

There will not be a prayer meeting in July as the Flower Festival will still be in full swing so the next one will be on Monday 17th September. Corporate Communion will be on 18th July.

Do make a point of looking at the flowers in the Lady Chapel during the Flower Featival that will have been arranged by Mothers’ Union members.

The new programme has been printed and will be ready for the next meeting.

We are still raising funds for repairs to the window in the Lady Chapel. If you would like to contribute please look out for the Smartie tubes, fill them with 20p pieces and return them as soon as possible to a committee member.

The committee and I would like to wish you a happy Summer break.
