Information
The church looked really wonderful for Easter – we are truly grateful to all the flower arrangers who give their time and talents so willingly and brilliantly. Very many thanks too to Dorothy Stock who takes such care of all the flowers which, with the colder weather and her kind attention, have lasted longer than usual after Easter.
This month we have an even wider variety of services for you – PLEASE look carefully at the schedule so that you don’t miss anything on offer!
Ascension Day 7pm on Thursday 7th May on the Causeway – This outdoor service has become so popular that people from other parishes come to share the wonderful views and spirituality offered by the Causeway. Bring a folding chair, and from Anton Post you will see where to go.
On Sunday 19th May, Whitsunday, by popular request, we have a Matins, or Morning Prayer, service in Chute, from the Book of Common Prayer.
In the evening at 6pm there is a Deanery Service in St John’s Church, Pewsey.
On Sunday 26th May at the unusual time of 10.30am everyone is invited to a Team Service in East Grafton, led by our new Archdeacon Ruth Worsley (no service in Chute on this Sunday).
On Sunday 2nd June, please note that the service in Chute will be at the unusual time of 4pm!
Advance Notice of the Annual Service in Chute Forest … this will be held on Sunday 30th June.
