Julie introduced us to many new approaches including simple services in the round. These were warm and encouraged us as a small congregation to have strength for the future. We wish Julie health and best wishes with blessings for her future.

Childswickham Parish Council Calling all villagers.... The parish council would like to initiate a Childswickham entry into Britain in Bloom 2017. It would be great for the village and is more than just flower arranging by gardening lovers! Initially we are looking to form a committee to steer the entry, secure sponsorship and deliver a fantastic entry. We will then be looking for flower box waterers to dead headers in 2017. If you are interested please contact [email protected] or drop a note into the parish council letter box on the village hall. Once we have some names the RHS will come and do a talk.

Thank you especially to the guest quiz masters who have to a man (or woman) been totally amazing. This has introduced a whole new dimension to our quizzes, and something I would like to build on.
