The ever-popular Pet Service will this year be staged on Sunday, September 6 outside the Sun Inn at 10am.

It will be a joint service with Hascombe Church and we want to see the biggest ever turn-out of animals assembled in these parts as we join together to thank God for giving us the gift of looking after our animals.

And those children who haven't got a pet, we ask you to bring your teddy bears and some food so that after the service we can stage a special Teddy Bears' picnic. It should be a special day.
