As ever, we welcome everyone to join us at one of our Deanery Lent Services held at Churches across the Deanery. This year we shall be studying the Beatitudes, using the book Life Attitudes by Robert Warren and Sue Mayfield, copies of which are available for those who wish to continue the theme of the services into their various small groups. All services are on Tuesdays at 7.30pm:

Our Ascension Day Service this year will be at Darlingscott, at 7.30pm on Thursday, May 29th: our preacher will be Revd. Andrew Coleby, Rector of Shipston.

An advance notice that Instant Choirs is back, on Saturday, May 17th, from 2.00 pm until 5.15pm (registration from 1.30 onwards) in St. Gregory’s Church, Tredington. We are delighted that Julian Harris has completed and is teaching us the whole of the Shipston Mass (we used parts for the Archbishop), so the day will end with a short Eucharist using the Shipston Mass setting at 5.30pm, finishing at 6.15pm.

Finally, new Deanery Synod Representatives will need to be elected at the year’s Annual Parochial Church Meetings. My thanks to everyone who has served so faithfully for the last three years.

Blessings, Jill
