There will also be a Deanery Evensong on Sunday 10 July at All Hallows church, Wellingborough at 6pm. Our choir members will be taking part and it would be lovely to see some members of the congregation there too!
Flags
As I hope everyone has noticed we have reverted back to flying the Flag of the Ukraine in support of their efforts against the Russian invasion. We will be flying this flag until the conflict is over.
Beginners
Following my appeal for more ringers I am pleased to report that I now have two more ringers in training. Still room for one or two more though!!

Fiori Musicale on 8 July – Concert in church - Please see the Poster in church for this concert. The tickets will go really fast for this one so we suggest you book early.
Invitation from Jill and David Timms - The church family is warmly invited to join us, with some of our other friends and family, on Sunday 7 August during and after the All Age Service in Church, at a celebratory buffet in the Church Hall. It will be the anniversary of our wedding 50 years ago at St Michael’s Church in Northampton. We look forward to you joining us as it will also be 50 years since we joined the church family at All Saints, Earls Barton in 1972.
Just to be very sure this is just a usual All Age Service followed by a church family celebration.
We ask that you please do not give us cards or gifts on this occasion as we would prefer, if you would like to, that you donate to the proposed new Church Hall development. There will be a donations box for cash and also the card reader in the church hall during the Buffet. We look forward to seeing you on 7 August.
Wellingborough Food Bank – please see the poster in church as the needs of those in food poverty are ever more getting worse. As you will see from the poster, less people are donating and more people are in need. You can drop off food at the bottom of Revd. Jenny’s drive, the Co-op and the Library. Please see the list of foodstuffs they desperately need at the moment.
Fairtrade Café & Secondhand Booksale - on Saturday July 9 , 10am to 1pm. See our special offers on our Facebook page for updates. Enjoy chatting, browsing our products & fresh coffee & yummy cakes…everyone welcome!
