St Peter and St Paul - 29th 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 about Beedon's annual Garden Party and Songs of Praise service (see the poster below). 

This Sunday there will be just two services  in the benefice:

   9.30am - United Benefice Eucharist, West Ilsley

   5.00pm - Song of Praise, Beedon

Next Sunday - 6th July - the services will be:

   8.30am - Holy Communion, Beedon

   9.30am - Eucharist, Chieveley

   9.30am - Eucharist, Peasemore

11.00am - Family Service, West Ilsley

11.00am - Eucharist, Boxford

   6.00pm - Evensong, Farnborough

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 in Boxford. 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.

Please do also encourage others to keep in touch with what is going on by signing up to these updates. Just forward this email or cut and paste the following link and send it to them:
