Every Friday between 10am and noon, weather permitting, Hilda Lee and the Friends of How Caple church set to work on the churchyard, helping to transform it into a well-maintained heritage garden for the village. Everyone very welcome to join, for gardening or simply for company. Contact Hilda via [email protected] and the Friends' website is friendsofhowcaplechurch.com .

We are terribly sorry but our usual 2nd-Sunday-of-the-month 9.30am communion will not be happening today owing to the benefice's practice of holding patronal services in each of the seven churches in the benefice. This will be happening at Foy church at 11am. If that does not grab, we can recommend the spoken 8am Prayer Book communion in the Lady Chapel at Hereford cathedral, which is short and dignified.

Prayer Book matins with hymns and canticles and organ music. Followed by sherry.

Morning Prayer (Matins) service from the Book of Common Prayer, taken by Anthony Thompson, Reader. Please note slightly earlier time which will allow Lois to play the organ before she dashes off to her second service of the day.

Parish communion (Book of Common Prayer) with hymns, organ and sermon, usually followed by coffee and cake.

Harvest festival service with choir and organ. A celebration will be held afterwards, details to be announced closer to the date.
