Note from Rev. Carolyn:Dear friends,I am delighted to be able to confirm that all the paperwork for us to become Two Rivers Benefice is with the Bishop of Salisbury for signing off. We started working together as parishes in May 2021 and so it is a delight that we have finally got this far. Thank you for all your patience and support.On April 21st the Bishop of Sherborne is coming to help us celebrate and will bless the new Benefice. The service will be at 4pm in All Saints, Tarrant Keyneston. I do very much hope you will all put this date in your diary, and join us then. With all good wishes and my prayers,God blessCarolyn

Introducing our logo…. It depicts both where we are and who we are. Where? We are churches along a river, surrounded by green countryside. Who? We are churches who desire to work together represented by the circle. The dove is a symbol of God's presence. We seek to love God and others in everything we do. Water in the Christian faith is significant too. Through water at baptism we are welcomed into the church family, and through water the weary find refreshment and renewal. As churches we too seek to be welcoming communities where people can be inwardly renewed and refreshed.
