Remembrance Sunday is always a very special day for our community here in Ludgershall and Faberstown, and this year was extra special, with the families of the Fallen from the Great War from this place helping us to dedicate and open the new Centenary Garden, following our service and Act of Remembrance at the War Memorial. Wonderful pictures of a moving day. Lest we forget.
It is with great excitement that we can announce that we are looking forward to welcoming Revd Tim Laundon as our new Priest In Charge of the Benefice of Ludgershall and Tidworth in the New Year.
Tim and his wife Amy are currently based in Windsor and preparing for their move to Wiltshire. Please continue to pray for them as they make these preparations and Tim finishes his responsibilities there.
And also continue to pray for the PCC, Church Wardens and supporting clergy here, as we continue to serve Ludgershall and Faberstown during the remainder of the vacancy until mid January 2019, when it is anticipated that Tim will be installed here by the Bishop. We praise God for His faithfulness and goodness to us and His provision for us during this time.
Harvest Festival is just around the corner!
Saturday 29th September – Join the walking group for a glorious autumnal ramble, leaving the church gate at 10am, plus leave any food or produce for decorating the church at St James. Volunteers welcome for that too.
Saturday evening, come along to the Harvest Supper in the Church Hall at 7pm. Tickets available from Mike Dunning or message this page – no charge for tickets, donations welcomed on the night.
Sunday 30th September, our Word, Worship and Song Service at 10am will be an all age celebration of the Harvest. Hope you can come.
Our Community Cafe is open at 10am every Friday morning during August, in the Church Hall, while our friends at the Memorial Hall Coffee Morning have a well-earned break and are therefore closed during the summer holidays. Come down and see us, space to chat and enjoy the hot drinks and refreshments available!
Our bible storytelling and activity session ‘What’s The Story?’ for 0-5year olds plus parents/carers and older siblings will run every Thursday in August 9:30-11am, meeting in the church. Come and join us as we charge around the place, enjoying stories together and sharing a lot of fun. No need to book, just come along. Sessions include a snack and are free of charge. Hope you can come!
You are warmly invited to come along and join us in whiling away a summer afternoon on Saturday 28th July, 12 noon till 4:30ish with a bbq, ice cream or perhaps a glass of Pimms. We will be in the Rectory Garden, so bring a picnic blanket or garden chairs and bag a good spot for listening to live music from the Decibelles & Whistles, or a spot of Donkey Derby antics, or even a garden game or two. We hope you can come!
