GREAT WYMONDLEY FÊTE - Sunday 12th June Preparations are under way for the Fête on Sunday 12th June starting at 2.00pm. This date coincides with the final day of the Queen’s 90th Birthday Celebrations weekend and so the Fête will have a royal theme. Please note this date in your diaries and come along to the Fête to help raise much needed money to keep the church here in the village up and running. We are also in need of people to help on the day. A letter about the Fête will be coming round the village shortly. We are hoping to have a Fish and Chip Van coming to the Fête at about 7.00pm. when we have cleared everything away and if we have sold enough tickets. The Fish and Chips will be freshly cooked and tickets will be sold in advance. There will be more details in June Pax and in the letter. If you would like to help on the day please contact the churchwardens, Paul Harding at The Old Rectory (01438-729219) or Cherry Carter at 2 Church Green (01438-724919).

ROGATION SUNDAY SERVICE - Sunday 8th May Don’t forget that the annual Rogation Sunday service will be held on 8th May (instead of 1st May) as this is the Sunday when Great Wymondley has a service. There will be a walk around the village to bless the crops, fields and gardens accompanied by Letchworth Morris who will dance at various places on the way. Refreshments will be served afterwards.

ASCENSION DAY - Thursday 5^th May

It is St. Mary’s Church Great Wymondley’s turn to hold the Benefice Ascension Day service at 7.30am. followed by a delicious breakfast in the churchyard if fine, or in the church if too cold or wet.  Come and join us for this special day, on what will hopefully be a fine spring morning, before you go off to work or get on with your day.  The Venerable Jonathan Smith will be taking this service.
