GAP YEAR SUPPORT.

The Priory Witness Group has a small fund that we use to support gap-year students (and others) who are spending time with Christian mission societies as volunteers. If you would like to be considered for an award, please phone 01684 899329. Donations in support of the fund would also be most welcome.

CONFIRMATION

is the way we make for ourselves the promises made on our behalf if we were baptised as babies. If you haven't already been baptised, then that can happen at around the same time as Confirmation. It's a wonderful opportunity for anyone (aged from about 10 - 100) to say their own public 'YES' to being a Christian for life!

This year's Deanery Confirmation service will be on Sunday evening, 16th November (at one of the Anglican churches in Malvern). Preparation will start in the Autumn. To find out more, please contact Mary Barr.

FESTIVAL OF WEDDINGS:

The beautiful displays in Church will continue until Monday at 4 pm, so do encourage your friends to come along and enjoy them.

Anyone happy to serve free soft drinks to visitors spending their lunch hour in the Priory churchyard? Fridays in August, 12.30 - 2 pm. Please phone 01684 833239.

EVENING WALKS

MARRIAGE COURSE

Would your marriage benefit from an MOT - time to reflect together, in the context of a candle-lit supper, and the Marriage Course? Why not consider it? Typical comment afterwards - "It rejuvenated our relationship". Eight Monday evenings Oct 20th - Dec 8th, 7.00 - 9.30 pm, in Lyttelton Well Coffee House. For more details please phone 01684 833239.

PCC DECISION ON CHAIRS:

After much thought, prayer and consultation, the PCC agreed unanimously on Thursday to proceed with a faculty application to replace the chairs in the nave with 280 oak chairs, with bookshelves, from the Tallow range of chairs from Irish Contract Seating.

A sample chair, with cranberry (brick) coloured upholstered seat and back, is on view in the church.

A further stack of 40 Howe chairs will be purchased for use in the side aisles when needed. Each Tallow chair costs £118, and the estimated total cost will be £43,000. A Chair Fund has now been opened, and an appeal will be made in due course.



WIDER CHURCH AND COMMUNITY SERVICE:

BBQ SUPPER

to raise money for the Lyttelton Well. Saturday 9th August 6pm at 'The Grange', Hill End. Please bring a garden chair. £10 for a three-course meal! Details and tickets from the Lyttelton Well.
