The Benefice is now, therefore, in interregnum, as it’s called.
However, services will go on as usual and cover is planned until the end of this year with local or visiting clergy in place for every service. We have already held a very successful Wed 19 9:15am Holy Communion at Little Harrowden Benefice event with the ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ Prayer Festival at Great Harrowden Church on May 25th and plan to have another one later in the year. The Diocese did advertise the va- 9:15am Holy Communion & Sunday School at Little Harrowden cancy in the Church Times for two weeks in June, but unfortunately there were no appli- 9:15am Holy Communion at Isham cants. The Archdeacon, will advise on the way forward shortly. Churchwardens have met with Rural Dean, Revd Miranda Hayes, who has offered her help and will make any decisions Sun 23rd 11:00am Holy Communion at Orlingbury or approvals usually carried out by the Rector, e.g. wording on monuments. Churchwardens 11:00am Holy Communion at Pytchley are getting together regularly just to ensure everything is running smoothly. There has been 11:00am Family Service at Great Harrowden a hiccup with The Vicarage telephone number, which will be 01933 675607, until we are able to restore the old number. However, please contact your churchwardens instead as this Wed 28th 9:15am Holy Communion at Little Harrowden number will not always be manned. Our Benefice Administrator, Kristy, will be in the office two mornings a week as usual and The Vicarage is also being tenanted temporarily, in case 9:15am Holy Communion at Isham you see signs of life. If you have any queries please do contact your churchwardens, their 10:00am Café Church at Little Harrowden numbers are listed at the top of this page. May we all work together to maintain our church Sun 30th 10:30am Morning Worship at Pytchley and village communities with love and to support one another. 11am Praise & Baps at Orlingbury 11am Celtic Holy Communion at Great Harrowden

Although passengers were so used to hearing this, and maybe became a bit complacent...it was good, sound advice against becoming trapped in the rut!!!
