Claydon Benefice Monthly Notice sheet of Services and Events with latest weekly update
Please see pew sheet for this month and next attached - the following news update was issued by email to the Benefice on Saturday 25th July
A great time was had at Doggy Day last Saturday at Great Blakenham. Thank you to all who came along and supported us...the dogs were the stars! Thank you to all who helped - from setting up, catering, stall holders and all helpers and doggy creche carers.
There was a great atmosphere at last week's Family Barbecue with 66 people of all ages enjoying a relaxing afternoon with good food and with the children well occupied with games and a bouncy castle.
Reminder that this weekend (Saturday 25th 2pm) the Bereavement Café takes place in Gt Blakenham Parish Room so please draw this to the attention of anyone you feel may find this helpful.
This coming Tuesday (28th) is the monthly Unforgettable Worship at GB and the Quiet Day being run at Barham by Mark Haworth
Barham Sunday morning Coffee Rota - Coffee after our main 10am weekly service is a very important part of our Church's fellowship and clearly appreciated by many of our congregation and many visitors to our Church. This is only possible because we have an 8-week rota of people willing to prepare the hall and serve the tea and coffee. This rota now needs some boosting following the loss of a few people for one reason or another. Our aim is to have two people for each of the 8 weeks and currently we have 3 weeks where there is only one person and one week where there is currently nobody on the rota. Please speak to Ann or myself if you are able to help.
It's just over 2 weeks to the start of J-Team so, if you have a child booked in and haven't yet returned the registration form that you have had by e-mail, please do so as soon as possible.
This has been a sad time for a number of families in our community and this week we have the funerals of Valerie Felgate and Valerie Becker. Both of these are private funerals but please remember Rev Jenny in your prayers as she supports these two families and the family of Rocky Morgan whose funeral is on 7th August at noon at Seven Hills
Please note that Val Becker's funeral takes place on Friday morning so those attending the Friday Drop-in are asked to use the car park through the gates and the path from there to the Church Hall. Whilst Val's funeral is a private service, anyone who wishes to pay their respects by being in the Churchyard at 10:30 as the hearse arrives would be very welcome but are asked to leave before the end of the service.
