The churchwardens are pleased to announce that Clare Jackson will be joining our Parish in July.

Clare will be ordained as a Deacon in the post of Assistant Curate under the supervision of Rev Canon Anne Lawson, vicar of St Mary’s Acton and the associated cross-country parishes.

This is a three year full-time post and Clare will be training ready for ordination as our Priest-in-Charge. Our Eucharistic services will continue to be led by visiting clergy until 2027 when Clare will be priested.

Clare is married to Mike and they have two grown-up children. They will be living in the vicarage in Weston.

All Souls’ service at St Mark’s on Sunday 2nd November

Candles were lit in remembrance of loved ones departed.

Today we have had two wonderful Harvest Services at our two churches today:

An informal cafe-like service of Sunday Celebration for Harvest at St Mark’s church when our children’s group GLOW led us in out harvest prayers and a more traditional harvest Holy Communion at All Saint’s, where we were delighted to welcome Bishop Mark to lead and preach our service of thanksgiving. At both services we reflected on God’s generousity and grace which helps us to reciprocate to others with cheerfulness and generosity. At each service Harvest gifts were brought by the congregation.

Thank you everyone who brought Harvest gifts which will duly be forwarded to those in need. All fresh goods will go the Salvation Army and tinned etc will St Paul’s Pantry.

Nine volunteers spent a pleasant morning tidying the garden at St Mark’s church – thanks to all who helped. One brown bin and lots of bin bags filled with garden debris.

Coupled with the work kindly done by Shaun Randle repainting the front entrance – it now looks really nice and adds an extra welcome to all who attend.

Our annual report and accounts for 2024 are now available on this website under “PCC documents”.

Please note that Night Prayer is moving from Tuesday to Thursday evenings.

There will be no Night Prayer on Tuesday 29th April.

The next Night Prayer will be on Thursday 1st May.
