Hello

This Sunday is Remembrance and our service is around the War Memorial in Lydford starting at 10:45am. On Armistice Day, 11 November, we will gather at Barton and Keinton War Memorials at 10:50am for Acts of Remembrance.

On Sunday, if you can bring your own chair please do, otherwise some chairs will be provided. Please note that since we’re meeting in the car park, there will only be disabled parking provided, others will need to park in the village.

This is my final Sunday before my time away from the Benefice. I will be working next week and expect to send out the bulletin next Thursday, but while we’re away it will be sent by Jane Sedgman, and I’ll be passing the address list onto her. I will assume that you’re content for this to happen, but if there is a problem then please let me know.

Rev David MacGeoch has just stood down as Area Dean and in his place Rev Ana Lawrence, the Rector of Street, has been appointed. I have been asked to be assistant Area Dean and Ana and I will both be licensed by Archdeacon Anne on Tuesday 15 November, at 9:30am in Shapwick Church. It will be a short service followed by refreshments. If you would like to come, please let me know.

The funeral of Diny Marshall of Keinton Mandeville will take place at Mendip Crematorium on Thursday 17 November at 11:30am.

With best wishes

Jane
