The men were amazed and asked, Many people just want to be near the sea from “What kind of man is this?

Not sure why; I have sea water in my veins, I think. There have been so many poems, stories, films I am so pleased to be sharing my thoughts with and hymns written about the sea. There must be you. something that provides this fascination that make us humans want to celebrate it, sing about it, paint In Biblical times, and also in more recent times, pictures of it, sail the sea was / is seen on it, swim in it, as a double edged dive in it, explore sword.

HOLY TRINITY CHURCH WEST LULWORTH Tony Bishop, master organ builder, checking over the organ in Holy Trinity Church. It was built by R Cope of Asylum Road, Peckham well over 100 years ago and originally would have needed a strong arm to work the bellows during a service. Tony is more than 80 years old and learned his craft from his father and his grandfather, so there is not much he does not know about church organs. Now it is in tip top condition, and once Covid regulations allow us, we look forward to hearing this lovely machine working again. 4 Parish News August 2020 FROM THE REGISTRARS Our daughter Beccy, Barbara and I would like to thank all our friends and neighbours for your extraordinary kindness following the untimely death of our son-in-law in a car accident in Wool on Sunday, 5th July. Beccy is still in pain from her injuries, but they are not serious, and we are relieved that their baby daughter Freya was not physically injured. Their emotional scars will take longer to heal. Although Warren and Beccy lived in London, they were married in St Christopher’s Church on 9th August 2017. They loved coming back to Dorset and we had a lovely reunion at the end of ‘lockdown’, during which they were shielding Freya, who had been born three months premature. On their way home they were struck by an oncoming car that crossed over to their side of the road. Your cards, flowers, gifts and generous offers of support have been a great comfort and we are so pleased to live in such a loving and caring community. We’re sorry that we have not been able to thank you all individually. Thank you David and Barbara Brann Holy Trinity Church West Lulworth Funeral Anthony Kenneth Bird on the 8th July 2020 (died 20th June 2020) 5 Parish News August 2020 WINFRITH VILLAGE STORES New Service for Holiday Homes With the recent government announcement that holiday rentals can now reopen from July, we would like to make all of our local holiday-home owners aware of a new service that we will be offering at Winfrith Village Stores.
