Hello all, the summer months have passed, it was very hot on occasions and a great reminder that church is cool! We are so lucky to have such a beautiful church here in Turweston to sit and relax in.
Visitor - All our churches hold so much history, and we had a visit from Geoff Causton who was researching his 3rd great grandfather Revd Thomas Causton, who was rector here between 1799 until 1842, we have a great photo of Revd Thomas Causton in the church kindly donated by Geoff. Do come along and have a look at this and some other information that Geoff was able also to discover in our church relating to Revd Thomas.
Church open! – we do have great news that we have a small rota underway to have the church open – currently covering 3 days a week – Thursday, Saturday and Sunday! I think Tuesday will be covered by the time this Link comes out……THANK YOU to those who are on this rota, what a blessing!
So, Monday, Wednesday and Friday still need covering – could YOU open one of those days? Or 2 or all 3? We have keys and asking one day at a time so if people are away, forget or have an appt it will not make a big difference that week if it is left closed that day – and committing to a whole week or month of opening and shutting seems too much. Please let me know…
Village Worship – this service is our best attended service; it is a short service of worship with probably longer taken enjoying the coffee and croissants and chat! Perfect way to spend a Sunday morning. As we have the Link out every 3 months, I wasn’t able to mention a particularly great service we had in May, when we celebrated Bell Ringing Sunday and we welcomed some hand bell ringers who played a beautiful rendition of ‘In an English Country Garden’ for us – Thank you so much – it was really great.
Through August I have been at the church for Thursday, Tea and Chat, 10.30 til midday – offering a chance to have tea and chat, biscuit too of course and relax in our cool beautiful space. I will let you know if anyone comes along!
Autumn services – do check out the calendar – of course we will be Celebrating Harvest – come and join us in our service of giving thanks and our bring and share lunch – also Remembrance Sunday – come and join the scouts who we are so lucky to have join us here.
All blessings Revd Paula
