Churchwardens. 1 June, Eddie and Andrea were admitted to the office of Parish Churchwarden at a special service at Beaconsfield.
Let us pray for them and for all our churchwardens; Frank, Peter, Allan, Donna and Jean.
“May God give you grace to serve him with cheerfulness and humility. May the Lord Jesus be with you in all you do in his service. May the Holy Spirit direct and guide your path, that you may fulfil your office to the glory of God and for the good of his people.” (Taken from the 1 June service.)

Walsingham 2025
Despite some showery weather, we had a lovely pilgrimage to Walsingham. It is a very special and spiritual place, and we joined with Christians from other parts of the country making the same journey as us. We have the chance to go again next year on the same weekend. If you think this might be right for you, speak to Fr Scott or one of this year’s pilgrims. Hopefully, next year’s pilgrimage will be a little cheaper. There are some great photos on WhatsApp.
