Revd Rebecca will be celebrating 30 years of ministry this Michaelmas. There will be a celebration at the Harvest lunch event on Sunday 27 September.
Come along and meet Rev'd Tracey at the Vicarage in Dilton Marsh and be with likeminded people. We'd love to see you. Speak to one of our Churchwardens (Sonja/Tess) if you are interested in joining. Also, you don't necessarily need to come every time. If you've not been to a home group before, don't worry, Jesus will show us the way.A home group is usually described as being:A small gathering of 6-12 church members who meet regularlyUsually in a private home - outside of Sunday worship. With a focus on studying/discussing the Bible and praying as a groupTogether with building personal friendships and supporting one another in everyday Christian discipleship.

Over the last two weeks in July, our bell-tower captain along with others have been replacing the flooring in the ringing chamber, which had become unsafe. This is why the church has been closed to visitors during this time. The flooring has been replaced with good solid wooden flooring and they have done a really good job. Our thanks go to all those who’ve been involved in this, which has been really hard work.You may be interested to know that we are going to include a time capsule under the flooring before it is sealed up, for future generations to discover, perhaps next time the flooring needs replacing (hopefully not too soon!). This will include a copy of our parish magazine, a copy of the White Horse news, a copy of the latest bell-ringing magazine, and a copy of last year’s annual report and accounts. Who knows when this will be discovered, but we hope it would be an interesting historical record of church life at this time, for those who find it.Rebecca
