Deanery News

Well done to the goodly number of you who managed to find Tidmington Church and join us in celebrating Ascension Day! It was a wonderful celebration, and lovely to have Anthony Wells speaking to us. The collection that evening will go to Christian Aid, and currently stands at £120.

The next Deanery Synod is on Tuesday, June 11^th at 7.30 pm in Alderminster Village Hall. Alyson Spence, who is a trainer with the Alzheimer Society, will be speaking about the way we care for those who suffer from dementia in our communities, and we hope that Kay Dyer will also be there to tell us about events at General Synod.

Finally, you might like to know that the total collections during the Deanery Lent Services came to almost £1000: this is going to be shared between the Bishop’s Lent Appeal, to provide a vehicle for Bishop Josiah in Kaduna, Nigeria, and support of the Joint Churches Youth Worker in Shipston.

Across the Diocese the total for the Bishop’s Lent Appeal reached almost £12,000 – enough to buy a good second hand vehicle for Bishop Josiah. Thank you so much to all who contributed, both via the Deanery services and their local church.

Every blessing, Jill
