We have invited our new Archdeacon, the Ven Louise Ellis, to come and preach at Holy Trinity Dilton Marsh at the 9.30am service on Sunday 10 August. This will be her first visit to the White Horse Team. We hope this will be a good opportunity for her to get to know members of our church community, as we shall soon be advertising the Team Vicar role. I hope we can give her a warm welcome and introduce her to the church and help her to get a feel for the parish and our Team Ministry during her visit.You can find out more about Louise here: https://youtu.be/wLqGaUyLI1c?feature=shared
Lammas comes from the Old English word for “loaf mass” and celebrates the first fruits of the Harvest. Traditionally, a loaf of bread is made from the first grain of the Harvest and brought to church to be blessed, symbolising gratitude to God for the harvest and for the sustenance it provides.There will be a special service at the Tin Church on Sunday 3 August at 6.00 pm. Everyone is welcome. We shall be bringing a loaf of bread to this service and there will be some refreshments afterwards.This is part of a series of services celebrating Rural Festivals in our most rural setting. We hope you will come and join us.
