Choral Evensong at St. John's, Yaverland is on 21st June starting at 5.30pm. The readings and music will reflect the patronal festival of St John the Baptist so do join us. Thanks to the generosity of the Ousely Trust, choral evensong at St John's is now supported by choir hymn books with the full musical notation. These help to take what is already a beautiful service to another level. We are very grateful for the opportunity that the Ousely Trust has provided us.
The June copy of What's On is now available. Why not take out a subscription for just £6 per year? Email subscriptions(at)whatsonmagazine(dot)org to find out more. We are always looking for volunteers to help run the magazine. If you have an eye for admin, would like to become a distributor, or perhaps you have an idea for a regular feature. Email editor(at)whatsonmagazine(dot)org we would love to hear from you!
The Brading Bellringers raised £70 at their Teddy Bear Zip Wire and Parachute Jump and would like to thank everyone who supported them.
Alex, Allie and Rosie would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone that made Rosie’s Christening a huge success last weekend. From Karen and Sue conducting the service, to Andrew Cooper’s excellent organ playing and the beautiful singing from the choir, and to everyone that helped serve cake, wash up and hold the baby. It was a privilege to share the day with you all.
Rev Karen and Chris are still on annual leave to rest, relax and recuperate. Please note calls and emails will not be answered during this time (otherwise it’s not really a holiday!) but do say hello if you see them about.
