Church open – it has been such great news that people have come forward to open the church, thank you all! I think you will find the church is open most days – how great it is that we can all enjoy the beauty and peace of our beautiful church here in Turweston.
Village worship – this service has been going well, and we have had a few more locals coming along to join in the worship and sharing of the lovely refreshments afterwards – perfect!
Remembrance Service – we had a lovely minister come along to lead the service this year – unfortunately our local scouts got called away to Helmdon this year – back with us next year.
COMING UP
We have a Christingle service on Saturday 13th December at 3pm – this service is so well loved by all ages I really hope it will be well supported.
Our Carol Service is 6pm 21st December - the carol service was well attended last year and we hope to have a pop up choir to help lead us with our carols this year– and mince pies and mulled wine to fortify us after! Do join us!
Christmas Morning Benefice Family Communion service 10.30am – unwrap a few stocking gifts then come to church before lunch and the rest of the gifts!
PLEASE NOTE JAN, FEB & MARCH – temporary change to first Sunday Family Communion
Being in a Benefice we have to always help each other out – and Tingewick has our biggest church and in the very cold months of winter (January, February and March) they are moving their services into their local village hall – the church is just TOO cold.
BUT Tingewick cannot get their usual Sunday dates, so Turweston will move over their first Sunday Family Communion temporarily from the 1st Sunday to the 4th Sunday – Village Worship will stay on 3rd Sunday. All noted in Link calendar.
FINALLY – BIG THANKS to all those who help in the church – flower arranging, cleaning, playing the organ, opening and closing church AND FRIENDS of St Mary’s who financially help so much in maintaining the fabric and the churchyard! THANK YOU ALL AND BLESS YOU!
Extra final note – will anyone PLEASE be our treasurer! All the bookkeeping is in very good order -our benefice treasurer has kindly been overseeing this (thanks Arthur!)! we just need someone who will take this on…please speak to me about this.
All blessings Revd Paula
