Anna Lunch
The first Anna * lunch will be on May 8th at 1pm at Dunsden, All Saints church. It will consist of a simple lunch of soup and a roll or jacket potato and a dessert. Initially, thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, I can fund this first venture, however, ultimately a small donation towards costs will be much appreciated. Please let me know if you would like to come by calling me on 07946352026.
Revd. Heather
* This forms part of my Anna chaplaincy role to provide suitable get togethers for like minded people in their maturity.
Many thanks Heatherx

Contacting the clergy
Please try not to telephone any member of the clergy between 09:00 - 09:45 on Monday and Wednesdays as they are either taking Morning Prayer, attending a staff meeting, leading mid week Eucharist or involved with the bible study group.
Please also respect that Friday is Revd Robert's day off and consider if your call can wait.
Revd Pam and Revd Heather give their time freely to the benefice on a part time basis and they are not always available to answer calls or emails immediately.

Zoom meetings
As we are no longer paying for a subscription, our meetings are now restricted to 40 minutes. The time starts from the moment the first person enters the meeting so, please, do not enter before the set time.

Seeking Volunteers
Thank you to those who have come forward already. There are a number of opportunities available for supporting your church and local community:

Churchwarden and Treasurer for Shiplake Church; Sacristans and Chalice Assistants for all churches

If any of these roles appeal, or you’d just like to know more, please speak to one of the clergy team.

Expanding our Pastoral Care Team
We are planning to expand our Pastoral Care Team and extend an invitation to anyone who feels called to be a visitor to the housebound, taking Home Communion and/or journeying with people who have been bereaved, preparing for marriage or having children Baptised.
If this is of interest, please contact Revd Robert for a discussion about what is involved.
Training and mentoring will be offered.
