What's been happening in Church - May to August​​​​

​

​Saturday 10th May - VE Day Anniversary Celebrations.    Marstow bells rang out to celebrate the end of

the war in Europe on 8th May, followed by a party on Saturday at the church on a glorious, sunny

afternoon.   A fascinating talk about local Land Girls by Graham O'Connell was followed by a sumptuous

tea and Prosecco.  The plant stall organised by Hillary with Angela's help was mobbed.   A very happy afternoon for Marstow Parish and our friends.   A big thank you to our Parish Council for the donation

towards costs, Marstow PCC team for organising the event and Graham.

​

Saturday July 12th - 3.00 pm.   Ben's Farewell Party.   St. Matthew's West End.   As most of you will know

our Vicar, Ben, has retired.   St. Matthew's PCC  hosted a joint Benefice farewell afternoon tea party

in St. Matthew's West End.   It was a super afternoon and representatives from all the parishes come to

say thank you and good-bye  to Ben after his many years of service to us all. 

​

Thursday 28th August - 7 p.m.   Talk in church by Graham and Angela O'Connell - A House Through

Time.   A fascinating illustrated talk about the people and stories associated with a local manor house

farm bringing to life local history with all its marriages, deaths, hardships and scandals.     

Followed by refreshments.    Such an interesting talk drew in the crowds and was enjoyed by us all.

​
