We are looking forward to remembering with the community those fallen in the World Wars on Sunday. Please aim to gather at the war memorial in the centre of the village for 10.45am. The act of remembrance begins promptly at 10.56am, followed by a service in the church to which all are very welcome.

Please do hold Lesley, and the other candidates to be licensed, in your prayers as the day approaches, and, if you are able, please do come along to rejoice with the church on this day of celebration.
