Some Summer Dates
22nd July: Pram Service at 10.30am for babies, toddlers, their mums, dads and grandparents. This is as much an opportunity for the children to mix and enjoy some juice and a biscuit, while parents enjoy a cup of tea and compare notes, as it is a service. There will be no service in August though - restarting in September.
22nd July: Drop in for tea and cake at the church - tea and cakes from 2.30pm for an hour or so.
24th July: School Leaver Service at 2pm. A big day in the life of our children - moving on in life with all its challenges. All are welcome.
26th July: The Parish Picnic follows our 11.00am Family Service and will be hosted by the Vicar and her husband in their lovely garden. Please bring along a plate to share.
School Holidays: Lunchtime Saturday BBQ-ettes on the recreation ground, weather permitting, from noon until before the cricket starts. A meet and greet opportunity - question and answer topics will hopefully include the new loo at St Andrews and ideas for improving the reception area inside the Church door. More details later here and in Rgoer's shop.
August Services: Please check the service tables above as during the holiday season the services are not as during the rest of the year! Be warned. Service details also in the Courier.
12th September: The village Fete and show - on the recreation ground all afternoon. Watch out for the Vicar with her bucket of water .......
Church Clock
Sadly, is still stuck! Recent engineer's reports suggest it is in need of its 100 year clean of grime and muck with the Victorian mechanism maybe good for another century or two once shampooed and oiled. The PCC are organising a specialist company to give us a formal report. This sounds expensive(!!) and will probably need clock fund raising.
Bells
Our medieaval bell (number 5) has had its clapper re-worked and re-installed thanks to the efforts of the bell ringers. It now rings a lot more cleanly and is in good "voice" for baptisms and weddings over the summer (as wel as the regular services). Bell practice at St Andrews from 1st July will be on 1st and 3rd Mondays at 7.30pm - if you are interested, just turn up (its not as easy as some TV adverts would have you believe!).
Midweek Communion
There will be no midweek service in July as the date clashes with a clergy conference in Derbyshire. Also none in August due to the holiday season.
Church quiet and reception areas
Johanne Nobes and Carol Chandler are leading the project to update the east end of the south aisle to make it an area suitable for quiet and calm meditation on those occasions when someone wants to just be quiet and think about Life. Also, they want to update the reception area inside the door at St Andrews to be more appropriate for the 21st century. Ideas and suggestions welcome - they can be emailed to: st.andrewsideas@savernaketeam.com or leave a suggestion in the Church.
