Diamond Wedding at St Mary's

Yesterday, before the 9.30am service Mr and Mrs Harry Kinder were presented with a bouquet and a card from members of St Mary's as a memento of their Diamond Wedding being celebrated this week.

The Rector asked them what was their recipe for such a long and happy marriage and Janet said they both agreed that it was Caring and Sharing.

We wish them both many more happy years together.
The special Evensong at Stanford church to celebrate David Chapman's 60 years as an organ builder, on Sunday, 18th July.

The organ recital also at Stanford Church on 23rd July raised over £1,000.

Please note that there are no regular user groups meeting during the summer, e.g. All the uniformed groups, Local History Group and Dance Groups.

However, there will be some events in the Hall.

• Teatime Sunday will continue but a barbecue is being planned for the August session. Please contact Brenda Knight for details.
• Slimming World continues throughout the year.
• If you visited the Methodist Church on East Leake's Carnival Day, you will have seen Robin Borrett's Coloured Pencil Group's exhibition. He is holding an all day session in the Hall on August 14th for anyone wanting to join the group.

There will also be some Spring Cleaning and maintenance on the Hall and the Church over the summer. We will be very pleased to hear from anyone who would like to help our volunteers. Drinks and light refreshments will be provided. Currently August 21st is the Church Cleaning Day.
