I also sent them to astrology clubs and societies, which I will list at the very end of the list, as there are not that many. Some of these addresses may not exist anymore, as I am still receiving returned letters, even as I post these address blogs on the web.

Led by our individual missions, both St Philip & All Saints (more commonly known as The Barn Church) and St Luke’s aim to be welcoming and friendly places for all who come to worship with us. Our congregations are from a mix of social backgrounds and span the age ranges from young families to those with more life experience. Both churches have an open and inclusive feel with services that follow a traditional liturgy balanced with liberal theology. The members of The Barn and St Luke’s PCCs are capable, committed and open to new ideas and look forward to welcoming a new incumbent. With the departure of our long-standing Vicar, Peter Hart, to the role of Team Rector at St Martin’s with St Peter, Worcester, there is now an opportunity to lead the congregations of both churches in our journey of faith and our mission in the communities we serve.
