VACANCY
We are thrilled to announce that Revd Sue Hart will be licenced as Savernake Team Rector on Tuesday 16th September 7pm in All Saints’ church, Burbage. We do hope you will be able to join us for this very special service. Here’s what our new team of clergy will look like!!
CURACY
We are pleased to announce that the Savernake Team has now welcomed our new curate Brenda Woodrow.
We are blessed to already know Brenda through her work in our sister benefice, The Vale of Pewsey, and are very much looking forward to to her becoming a familiar part of this side of the Deanery too.
At our Mothering Sunday service in St Katharine’s, Brenda and her husband Mark were introduced to the congregation and welcomed with a round of applause.
And on June 29th she was ordained Deacon at Salisbury Cathedral.
VOSO
Pewsey Deanery are delighted and excited to welcome Emily Heaver to a brand new role in the Diocese. Emily is our Volunteer & Operations Support Officer and her role is to help support the church communities of the Pewsey deanery, acting as a bridge to the resources of the diocese and providing assistance with operational tasks and initiatives.
On Monday 28th April Emily was welcomed in a short service of Commissioning and Prayer by Bishop Andrew at St Michael’s, Tidcombe. We wish Emily every success in this new venture.
WORLD DAY OF PRAYER
This year our service ‘I made you wonderful’ was brought to us by the Christian women of the Cooke Islands. It took place at St Mary’s Great Bedwyn and raised over £144 for the charity.
Our 2024 service took place in St Andrew’s, Collingbourne Ducis and raised nearly £100 for WDP.

2025. Shalbourne Juniors win the cup for the third year in a row!!
2024. Huge congratulations to our Ride and Stride junior group who have won the cup for a second year in a row! We are so grateful to all of those who sponsored the children on their bike ride. They raised an amazing £754 for Wiltshire Historic Churches Trust. Half of this comes directly to Shalbourne Church, along with an extra £100 of prize money and the Junior Group Cup. The children will receive their medals and be presented with the Cup by His Honour Mark Everall KC in the 11am family service on Sunday 3rd March. Thank you to everyone who took part and helped on the day. We hope you can join us in the service and encourage an even bigger turn out for the next Ride and Stride in September!
