Ordination of Curate Andy Bissex

Our new curate Andy is being ordained on Sunday 6th July in Bristol Cathedral. Please pray for Andy and Phil on this special occasion, and for all candidates being ordained in the Bristol Diocese.

Bring and share lunch at St Michael’s on 13th July

Following Andy’s ordination and first service at St Michael’s there is a Bring and Share lunch on Sunday 13th July after the 10:15am morning service. The PCC have decided that as it would be wonderful for the St Leonard’s congregation to join both the service and the lunch there will be no morning service in St Leonard’s on Sunday 13th July. If anyone would like a lift to Highworth for the service and lunch please let Paul or Helen know and we will make car share arrangements.

Churchwardens - Archdeacons Visitation

Paul and Helen will be attending the Archdeacons Visitation on 3rd and 9th July respectively to formally begin their Churchwarden year. Please pray for all churchwardens in the Diocese as they take this step.

Reordering Update

The Public Notice period ends on 3rd July and the Certificate of Publication will be submitted on Friday 4th July. Next steps to be clarified with the DAC once submitted as we await the Chancellors review.

Church Committees/Groups

Following the PCC Meeting we have agreed that we need a Reordering Committee and an Eco Church Committee to work on the project and to work towards the first level of Eco Church as we look to meet the Diocesian environmental targets. We do need people to help the PCC with the level of work involved in delivering these initiatives. If you or someone you know might be interested in joining one of these committees please speak with Paul Morris.
