At Communion Services
If you are a communicant member of a
Christian Church, you are welcome to come up to receive the bread and
wine. Otherwise you are welcome to
either remain in your seat or come up to receive a blessing. Keeping your hands down by your side will
signify to the Vicar that you wish to receive a blessing. If you have difficulty coming up to the
Communion Rail and would like the Vicar to come to you, then please inform a
sidesman.

service in church when the favourite trees will be announced. Stalls and

A HUGE THANK YOU to
everyone who gave so generously either at the Barn Dance or through our
door. We are all overwhelmed with your generosity and can say that we
have raised the £1000 for Isaac to go to India next year. So thank you again.
He will share a bit more about what his journey entails in the New Year and will
of course give us a talk once he has returned. Also thank you for all of your
cards and emails, there were so many that it would be impossible to
respond to them all but please know that we are so very grateful for your love
and support, it has been such a blessing! Thank you! Kim, Charlie
COMMUNITY CHOIR Thank you to
everyone who supported the Community Choir Challenge evening recently.
The Spectaculars (the Burton Overy Choir, named as such because they
nearly all wear spectacles!) sang wonderfully well and over £8000 was raised
for Hope Against Cancer. Congratulations to Helen Egerton who organised
the event.
