Anna Chaplaincy

The Anna Chaplaincy Team support older people emotionally and spiritually.

Revd Heather Turner is the Anna Chaplain, contact her on [email protected] or 07946352026.  Paul and Valerie are commissioned Anna Friends.

Anna lunches and teas are open to all in their maturity but we also welcome anyone who would value the social interaction it affords. Everyone is welcome, even if you haven’t joined us before. Any questions, please ring or email Revd Heather using the details above.

Details of the Anna events will be listed here as they are arranged, please also see the "News and notices" and "Social Events" pages for a range of community social events.   

Our next event(s) are as follows:

It has been decided that as there is either a harvest lunch or tea being arranged by each of the churches, to wait till November for our church Community Lunch. The date is Thursday 13th of November at 1pm. This will be at Shiplake Meadows (the Audley village on the A4155 not far from Shiplake war memorial). A menu is now available. Please contact Revd Heather for further details. And to book your place on [email protected] or 07946352026.

The Anna tea in December will be different! Mindful of the darker days I am planning to hold a prayer book 1662 Communion service at 2pm at Dunsden on the 11th December prior to celebrating the forthcoming season of Christmas, with a glass of mulled wine, Christmas cake and mince pies. EVERYONE is welcome but I do need to know you are coming for catering purposes please.

Any questions, please contact Revd Heather on [email protected] or 07946352026.
