Dear Friends,

We are all saddened by the death of our dear Queen. She was a wonderful woman, who led and served our country so well all her life. Her faith in Jesus as her Saviour and Lord was a model to us all and as she said, she looked to Him for guidance and strength.

At this sad time all of our churches are open as usual and available for you to come and pray, reflect and light a candle.

There are books of condolence all around the diocese and the one in the Onny Camlad Benefice is at St Nicholas’, Churchstoke. St Nicholas’ will be open Saturday until 5pm and on Sunday. There is also a book of condolence at St John the Baptist Church, Bishops Castle.
