 nSaturday for the annual fete\, raising money for St\nKenelm’s. More det
 ails from Helen (381490) and Janet\n(381379). There is still time to get i
 nvolved and\nsupport this fun and traditional event!\nIf you have never vi
 sited All Saints’\, Spetchley why not\njoin Revd Nancy Murray-Peters for
  Morning Service\nthis Sunday and see the simple 700 year old church\nwith
  its rather remarkable family monuments.\n\nClaire’s Licensing Service f
 ollowed by refreshments\n\nthis coming Sunday\nClaire writes:\nOn Sunday I
  shall be licensed as priest in\ncharge of this Benefice. \nOne of the st
 atements I shall be making in\nthat service is that I will continually sti
 r up the\ngift of God that is in me. \nI have been constantly surprised a
 nd\noverjoyed to find that my calling is to be a\npriest right here where 
 I have lived for so\n\nmany years. \n\nSurprised because being a priest a
 t all and\naccepting the gift of God was totally\nunexpected\; overjoyed b
 ecause this is my\nhome and I am amongst friends who have\nwatched and bee
 n a part of my journey of\n\nfaith.  \n\nMinistry\, especially in rural p
 arishes\, is varied\nand can be challenging.  It doesn’t just involve\n
 a service on a Sunday but can be all-\nconsuming:  baptisms\, weddings\, 
 funerals\,\nvisiting and getting to know parishioners. \nNot to mention l
 earning the many rules\,\nregulations and traditions that make up good\npa
 rish ministry.  Plus of course the value of\nlistening\, thinking and pra
 ying before\nspeaking or making decisions. \nI am sure I will always be l
 earning and I look\nforward to growing into being your parish\nvicar durin
 g the years to come. \nPershore and Evesham Deanery\nA Service of Celebra
 tion\n\n12th July at 7:30pm at St Peter’s\, Bengeworth\nRevd Canon Sarah
