Ordination of Curate Andy Bissex

Andy is being ordained this Sunday in Bristol Cathedral, please pray for Andy and Phil. Following Andy’s first service at St Michael’s on Sunday 13th July at 10:15am there is a Bring and Share lunch. 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. 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.

Big thanks to Helen and Hilary Gibbin, and all who helped in preparing for and supporting the fundraising concert on Saturday, raising money for the Reordering Project.
