Spoken matins led by Anthony Thompson, Church of England Reader. This short service is from the historic Book of Common Prayer, repository of some of the greatest phrases in English literature.

Every Friday between 10am and noon, weather permitting, Hilda Lee and the Friends of How Caple church set to work on the churchyard, helping to transform it into a well-maintained heritage garden for the village. Everyone very welcome to join, for gardening or simply for company. Contact Hilda via [email protected] and the Friends' website is friendsofhowcaplechurch.com .

Harvest festival matins to be taken by the Rev Nicholas Lowton. How Caple choir will be on parade. After the service we will linger for a light lunch (£5 per person), with wine/cider/lemonade, served from the Gregory chapel. This is a change from previous years and we hope the less formal arrangement will be popular. The lunch is open to everyone - even if you have not been at the service - and we hope it will be relaxed and convivial. It would be helpful to know rough numbers, so please email Verity if you think you can come ([email protected]).

Prayer Book matins with hymns and canticles and organ music. Followed by sherry.

Candlelit village carol service with traditional lessons, followed by mulled wine and mince pies. A great moment in our little church's year.
