Calling all pre-loved Teddies who need a new home!
We are doing a Teddy Tombola at the Village Fayre 8th September, hence the need  for teddies which can be dropped off at:

Woodstock Southover Way, Hunston.

Jo Williams.
Thanks in advance!!

Many may fondly remember Ivor and Olwyn Young who were members of our congregation some years ago, before Olwyn’s health failed. Olwyn has passed away a few years ago and Ivor passed away on 14 July this year. He had been moved to a residential care home in Ross on Wye in September 2018. Our deepest sympathy to his surviving family.

Soul Survivor 2019 will soon be upon us, and we will be taking a group to The East of England Show Ground from Saturday 17^th August to Wednesday 21^st August. Soul Survivor is a great event, designed for 12-18 year olds, packed full of great worship, thought-provoking seminars and loads of fun activities throughout the day (and into the night). The cost will be £123. If you are interested and want to find out more, please contact Jane and Stephen Everard on 01243 375858 / 0797282227 / jsne@talktalk.net.

We are planning to hold a Day of Prayer on Saturday 27 July.  We realise that this is in the school holidays but it has been difficult to find a Saturday when the church is free.  We plan to have a half day praying in each church followed by a short service late afternoon to draw it together.  The aim of the Day is to pray for the future of our churches as we enter an inter-regnum and to pray for our future minister, whoever that might be.

There will be signing up sheets at the back of the churches; if you are able please sign up for an hour’s slot.  We need two people for each hour.  There will be more information available nearer the time.  Please come and join us in prayer.

There will be no village lunch in July or August, this is due to holidays. We look forward to seeing you in September.

Please contact Freda if you are unable to attend. Thank you.

Thanks to all involved in the special War Memorial and Roll of Honour Dedication Service held at St Leodegar’s Church.  The efforts put into the preparation, organisation and funding of the project more than met my hopes and expectations.  It was also a pleasure working closely with the Chair of the Hunston Parish Council and relatives of those recognised on the War Memorial Plaques.

The St Stephen’s Church Electoral Roll has been checked again and as there have been some removals a new list has been produced and is shown in the South Door Porch.  Those who should be on the list are asked to check for their own entry and for any corrections which are necessary.  Additions would be welcome.

To recognise others who fell in WW1 from Hunston, a new memorial stone is being unveiled at Hunston church. This is funded by the Royal British Legion and supported by the Parish Council and a dedication of the new stone is to take place at 12pm on 30 June at St Leodegars led by Victor.  Representatives from Royal British Legion will attend and it is hoped that members of the Free School cadet corps will also be present.
