Everyone is invited to the Eco Church gathering at St Helen's Church this afternoon, when we shall be outside - weather permitting! - weeding the Labyrinth in readiness for the Summer Solstice service next month. (Working on the Labyrinth is a much more satisfying and enjoyable experience than it might sound!) We'll convene at 3.30pm at the Labyrinth for a time of worship, and end, as usual with a shared meal. Do dress for outdoors, and please bring any useful tools you have – trowels, edgers and other such implements.

Do join us for the benefice Ascension Day services on Thursday 29th May, at either *the Old Church on the St Helens Duver, starting at 9.00am for a service of Holy Communion, followed by breakfast at the nearby Baywatch café. Dress for the weather, and bring a chair! (NB you will have to pay to park.) Or in St John’s Church Yaverland at 6.00pm for a traditional Sung Eucharist service (no need to bring a chair and parking is free!)
