Saturday 13th September - Shropshire Historic Churches Ride & Stride throughout the Benefice.  Most Churches in Shropshire will be open today, and definitely all those in our Benefice!  You can be sponsored to walk, ride or drive to visit as many or as few Churches as you would like to.  It is an opportunity to support our beautiful places of worship as any sponsorship monies raised are split 50/50 between the Church and the Shropshire Historic Churches Trust, who are and continue to be a wonderful support to the Churches in our Benefice by awarding grants to help with maintenance and repair.  We are so grateful to them for their support.  If you would like to join with others to travel around the Benefice please do let Emma know at the Benefice Office by any of the usual means! There will be Flowers, a Craft Fair in St. John the Baptist Church, Ditton Priors from 10.00am - 6.00pm or until the Cake, Coffee & Teas run out!  Please do let Marjorie Jones or Emma at the Benefice Office (01746 599217) know if you would like to take part.
