Service of Holy Communion and Meeting of Candidates – Wednesday 17th JuneYou are warmly invited to a short service of Holy Communion on Wednesday, 17th June at 9.00am,at All Saints Kesgrave followed by tea and coffee at approximately 9.30am for around 15 minutes. This will be an opportunity for you to meet the candidates we are all eagerly anticipating.Please continue to pray for our Benefice and our three churches—for our future, for our next incumbent (whom God is calling), for our unity, and for how we can continue to support and encourage one another, and grow in mutual care and love.I cannot express it better than Archdeacon Rich did in his sermon last Sunday, 31st May. I really enjoyed listening to him and watching the service. If you did not have a chance to hear it, here is the link:https://www.youtube.com/live/J3sL4rExhWE?si=Cl7U_xPQ-hsPLRiz
We were blessed to enjoy Brightwell Ukuleles twice at All Saints Kesgrave, and those who came can be witnesses to my words that it was impossible to sit still!! Before long, you found yourself humming along, singing along, and tapping your feet to the music!! We had an absolutely wonderful time, and now you are all warmly invited to enjoy this fantastic group at All Saints Church, Little Bealings, on 30th June at 2.15pm. We are hoping for another brilliant crowd and the same lively, joyful atmosphere that made their previous visits so memorable. There is no entry fee, although donations will be welcomed, with a retiring collection in aid of church funds. Come along for an afternoon of wonderful music, great company, and plenty of smiles. We look forward to seeing you there!
