A note from Margaret: Thank you all very much for the wonderful flowers that you sent me, they are beautiful. I’m still very sore but I’m moving around a bit more each day. Hopefully I’ll soon start to feel like my old self.
Many thanks to everyone who came to the Benefice service for the Patronal Festival at St Peter’s and stayed for the Picnic lunch. It was lovely to be together and the Red Arrows put on a great display above us!
Early warning! The Seaview church and community fete is on Saturday 10th August on the Seaview football field. The Mothers’ Union will be running its tombola stall and needs bottles and other suitable prizes. Good quality bric-a-brac is also wanted for the very popular white elephant stall. Items can be left in the church porch.
Date for your diary: Rev Bevaly will be ordained as a Priest (rather than a Deacon) on Saturday 28th Sept in Portsmouth Cathedral at 11.00am. Your support would be most welcome.
