Pray also for those families in the village who have opened their homes to those made homeless as a result of war in Ukraine.
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Cyril Lucas who passed away on Friday. He will be sadly missed by everyone, not only for his sense of humour but for the service he gave to the village in his working life. Please pray for Nellie and his family in their loss.
Please pray for the repose of the souls of Sheila Nichols and John Higginbotham and their families who mourn.
There is to be a Service of Thanksgiving for John's life on Monday 11th July at 3pm in church.

It was a lovely surprise to have him with us at Thursday Communion recently. He is engaged to be married (to a priest's daughter!) in 2024. Congratulations Will!
