Dear All,
St John the Baptist
A big thank you to the Revd Dr Steve Bullock, our new curate, who took the Family Service last Sunday. We did not know that we had a magician in our midst and were much entertained by his sleight of hand.
This Sunday we celebrate All Saints Day, but as it is the 5th Sunday in the month there is no morning service in Shipton Moyne. There will instead be a benefice evensong in Beverston at 6pm on Sunday. All welcome.
Remembrance Reflection Friday 11th November at 6.30pm
Don’t forget to put this is your diaries. It will last about an hour and will be followed by a glass of wine and canapes.
A message from Julie Nicholson:
Thank you to all who have been in touch and offered to contribute readings, personal stories and music. There’s still time for anyone wishing to take part. Please contact Julie on 07850 367779.
