invitation to farewell reception for Rev Caroline Ralph

Our Rector, Caroline Ralph, will be retiring at the end of September after 10 years leading the Benefice of Dunster, Timberscombe, Wootton Courtenay, Withycombe, Rodhuish and Carhampton. On Sunday 24th September at 3pm in St George’s Church, Dunster there will be a Service of Thanksgiving for her, followed by afternoon tea in the Tithe Barn in Dunster. All are welcome to attend and to say their farewells to Caroline. For catering purposes it would be helpful to know who would like to attend by 10th September latest, so please let me know on 841500, or email me on marion@j-mail.org. Likewise, please let me know if you would like to go to the service and tea, and say goodbye, and would like a lift. There is a Benefice-wide collection for Caroline and if you would like to contribute, please just pop an envelope through my door at The Old Mill or hand one over at a service in St Petrock’s where there is also a card for everyone to sign. Thank you.

Garden Party Saturday

Due to the rain forecast on Saturday, we will have to move the event to Timberscombe Village Hall.

We will still be running the same stalls and raffles and of course our delicious cream teas with homemade scones will be available.

We hope that you will still come and support us, meet up with friends and neighbours for a chat while raising funds for our beautiful church.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 3pm to 5pm.

Marion Moncrieff.
