Lisa Overton, Secretary of the Friends of St Mary’s, provides our latest news round-up:
As restrictions on our lives begin to ease, we hope very much to be able to resume some activities for the Friends of St Mary’s, and we would like to thank everyone for their patience and continued support through the past difficult year.
Our reward is seeing the conservation of the tower and refit of the vestry of St Mary’s complete and looking so good.
We plan to hold this year’s AGM at 5pm on Sunday 25th July (not the 11th as previously advertised) with Evensong in the church – what a blessing that will be!
We also hope to open St Mary’s at weekends during the summer months.
Further events, we hope, will follow in the late summer and autumn, so please keep an eye on our website.
SAVE THESE DATES!
Saturday 28th August: Pimm’s Tent at the Hawkesbury Show
Sunday 19th December: FOSM Service of Nine Lessons and Carols
