Claydon Benefice Monthly Notice sheet of Services and Events with latest weekly update
Please see pew sheet for this month attached - the following news update was issued by email to the Benefice on Saturday 29th August
REMEMBER this Sunday is the 5th Sunday in the month so there will be just one morning service and this time it will be at Gt Blakenham at their usual time of 11am
On Sunday afternoon at 12:45 there will be the baptism of Zach Cheetham at Barham and we ask for your prayers for Zach and his family as he enters full membership of the Church.
We are pleased that Isy Ruffles has been accepted for Reader Training and there is to be a commissioning service at the Cathedral on Sunday 13th September at 3.30 pm. Isy is invited to bring along friends, family and fellow parishioners for support so If anyone would like to come along, please could they let Isy know ASAP, but by next weekend at the latest, as the Cathedral wants to know how many service booklets to produce.
Just a reminder that this coming Saturday, 5th September, is the celebration service for Churches that have achieved ECO CHURCH awards.Please note that the first of our Benefice Harvest Festivals is at Henley on 20th September and the closing date for buying tickets for the lunch is 15th September so don’t delay. Tickets are now available for the Claydon and Barham Harvest Lunch on 27th from Rev Jenny and for the Gt Blakenham Supper the following Saturday from Wendy Hooper.
The Friday Drop-in at Barham Church Hall every Friday morning is continuing to be quite popular and last Friday there were 17 people attending and a real buzz in the hall. If you are alone as a couple or as an individual on a Friday morning why not drop along for a free cuppa or two and some different conversation.
We reported last week that Sylvia Lawes (Nee Deeves) had sadly passed away recently. We are now able to confirm that Sylvia's funeral will take place on Friday 18th September in Barham Church at 11;30am.
