During the last 18 months, I found myself reflecting on how we have enjoyed worshipping together in one large (socially distanced) group, instead of being scattered across many Services where only 5 or 6 attend. Out of that, each village considered and agreed to a change in our Service Rota, with a main Service every Sunday moving around the villages, and considerably fewer Services. This is not a perfect solution — I have tried to respond to various needs — and I may well have created a camel when I set out to design a horse — it is on my head that the complaints will fall as time goes by if it doesn't meet with approval!

[Because of the new arrangements, the timetable for the month (not just the week) now appears in the Benefice News Sheet, circulated to those who have requested it. Listings are also available via the new «Church Benefice Services Calendar» page, accessible from the main «What's on?» events page in either of two ways — from the link in the box at top left, or as the only sub-option of the "What's on?▼" menu item. — Webmaster]
