Dear Friends,
It’s nearly the end of the school term, well for some it’s already finished. In this house we still have a final week of concerts, performances and parties to enjoy. Although we are entering into summer proper (not that you can tell by the current weather) there is still plenty going on around the villages during the next few weeks:
Do book a ticket for the Summer Concert next weekend at St. Mary’s, Aldworth who will host the Adderbury String Quartet for the evening (details below).
The Master’s Studio is a space open for everybody to connect with other creative people held at St. Stephen’s (again, details below).
On top of this we have a wide variety of services over the coming weekends giving us time and space to worship together as community. We’d love to see you and you would be most welcome to join us for any or all of the events going on.
I really hope you have a wonderful summer, whatever your plans.
Love,
Grant
