Welcome to Summer – and be careful what you wish for! We’ve had weeks of warm sunshine: the flowers and trees are in full blossom, it feels happy (unless you have to work under a blazing sun). But we do need rain too, otherwise we will be threatened with drought before long.

Meanwhile our two villages and their churches continue, despite all the threats of the outside world. As described in this magazine, we had a successful Easter, and its lead up from Mothering Sunday on. We have been blessed with excellent priests to take our services while we wait for a new Priest-in-Charge. There will be a few Sundays in the high summer when both churches will have worship services or Morning Prayer, but mainly we continue our normal pattern of worship up to Christmas. Meanwhile the post of Priest-in-Charge is being re-advertised, and we have pencilled in Interviews for 22nd October. So, God willing, things should get back to normal relatively soon.

The advertisement for a new Priest features the good links between Church and Church School, and also community involvement, afternoon teas at St. Giles and quizzes and other events at St. Margaret’s. Hopefully someone will be called to serve as our Priest-in-Charge.
