Astbury, Smallwood and Somerford come together for a joint benefice service on a month where there is a 5th Sunday. This month we meet to celebrate our local countryside and its farmers with the ancient tradition of a Rogation service – a thanksgiving for bounty of the earth, a blessing of the land and its produce and prayers for God's protection on crops and the agricultural industry.
And Smallwood are promising their famous hospitality following the service which will be held at Lynn House Farm at the kind invitation of farmer, John Ball.
