This week's Athelney Bulletin

Welcome to the bulletin... This is a weekend of poignant remembrance, when we recall (often by name) those who died in wars, perhaps distant in the First World War or perhaps very recently in the conflicts of this century. Especially this year we recall the 80th Anniversary of the end of the Second....

We (the four churches of the Benefice) will be holding a Teddy Bears Picnic on Sunday 15th June (Fathers Day) from 2.30pm to 4.00pm in Stoke St Gregory Sunday School Room. This will be an opportunity for families to come together to meet, share and enjoy themselves and to find out more about what is happening in the benefice. There will be toys and crafts, a treasure hunt, music, story time and refreshments. Families with young children across the benefice are invited, and, of coruse, bringing a teddy bear!

Please invite anyone you know who might like to come and also use this as a reminder to remember families in our villages in your prayers. If you would like to help out please let Simon know.
