Evening walk

 Hi folks

I'd like to thank all those who attended our recent Evening Walk, and also to those who forwarded a donation in lieu.  I would also like to thank Lord Brooke for his generous permission to walk past the beautiful grounds and house.  Almost 70 people attended, and we were delighted that everyone made it home safely!

The weather didn't look great - we were just on the brink of encountering Storm Ellen - but God granted us a break in the rain, long enough for us to get around the grounds of Colebrooke Estate.  A few ran, a few walked dogs, a few dandered, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the walk! Two ladies decided to run the first lap, and walk a second lap! Fair play to them!

We are delighted to announce that we have raised almost £800 towards to Aghavea Building Fund!

Thanks to Yvonne, Helen and Rebecca for their organisational skills and handling the admin on the evening - and organising the prizes for the walkers.  Thanks to the gentlemen who shepherded the folks in the right direction, your help was invaluable too!  Below are a few photos from the evening.

We're approaching the end of the summer season, the coronavirus is still here - but we all enjoyed the evening, and the bonus of raising a decent amount was really just a blessing!

Blessings to all.

Johnny

Hiroshima Remembrance

Hi folks Today, 6th August 2025, is the 80th anniversary since the United States of America dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Shortly afterwards, they dropped a similar device on another Japanese city of Nagasaki. Between the two events, over 200,000 people died, and Japan surrendered - ending the Second World War. The ripples from these two horrific events are still felt today, and the lessons from them are more relevant in today's world than ever before! Each day we hear about the tensions around the world regarding nations developing nuclear weapons, threatening to release havoc upon the world. Although the weapons are often referred to as deterants, the danger is that the whole world could be effectively ended within minutes if someone decided to release their particular weapon upon an enemy state! I pray that today reminds the world leaders about the absolute devastation that these weapons bring. They do not distinguish between combatants or civilians. ...

August Hymns and Readings

 Hi folks Here's the next list for the readings, readers and hymns for our services throughout August. There are five Sundays this month, and in our normal pattern, our fifth Sunday will be a Cafe Church service in the Parish Hall. As ever - this is just a guide, if you need to swap your date - just let someone know. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to read each month, and if you'd like to join the list, please let the church wardens or the Rector know. If we need to do so, both David and the Rector are more than happy to fill in for any given reading!
