First Sunday after Trinity  - 22nd June 2025

Dear all

Welcome to the news for this week.

There is information for the coming week below and I would encourage you to take a look at all that is on offer. As well as general church notices and prayer intentions for the coming week and beyond there is also some information this week's Chieveley Fete taking place at the Recreation Ground and Beedon's annual Garden Party and Songs of Praise service (see the poster below). 

This Sunday there will be five services  in the benefice:

   8.30am - Holy Communion, Farnborough

   9.30am - Eucharist, Beedon

   9.30am - Family Service, Winterbourne

There is a new sermon, this time from Bishop Mary. While I say new, the sermon was actually given at the beginning of May at the Service of Thanksgiving we held for the completion of the Three Rs Project. The sermon is available by following this link, and there are news items and dates for your diary on the website and the pew sheet including details of further fundraising events.
