Please be aware that the Rector will not be saying 8.00 Morning Prayer in our churches during August but the pattern of daily Morning Prayer will resume in September. Our churches will remain open where possible so you are welcome to spend your own time of prayer in the churches.

To All Creatures Great and Small
Whether you are a stick-insect, hamster, guinea-pig, chihuahua, great dane, green parrot, goat, pot-bellied pig, 10 foot boa constrictor, llama, pony or even a cat; my master, the Rector would like to invite all pets with their owners to the Minster Green to join in with the ‘Pets Blessing Service’ on Sunday 16 September at 3pm.
After the short service there will be refreshments, hopefully including dog biscuits and chews.
Master asks that owners don’t allow pets to escape on the Green and that we leave it as clean as it was when we arrived.
The Rector says humans don’t have to bring a pet to come and join in. Everyone is welcome.
Hope to see you on 16 September.

Refreshments and fellowship at Minster 11:00 am services
The recent coffee before the 11.00am service has not been too successful – partly due to the lack of comfort facilities in church, so as of 12 August we will not be serving refreshments ‘officially’ but come and chat and share fellowship whilst we consider how to improve the provision at the Minster.
