No mow May

You may have noticed that small areas of the churchyard have been left to grow wild. This is particularly noticeable near the South Porch where the yellow flower "Ladies Bed Straw" has popped up in profusion. Legend has it that Mary gave birth to Jesus on a bed made from this plant.  Hence its name.

At Ippolyts Church - FRIENDS

FRIENDS 
Once again, we held a successful Community Coffee Morning in the Committee Room at the Parish Hall and enjoyed a relaxed time with coffee, cake, and company.  One of our local friends came with their hearing dog which was wonderful to see the companionship between them. The Hearing Dog charity and training of the dogs was explained to us and also the cost of up to £40,000 to train the Labradors over a period of perhaps four years. 

 

We hope you can join us for the next Coffee Morning on Wednesday 5th July 10.00 am till Noon. There will not be a coffee morning in August but will resume on the first Wednesday in September.

We would welcome more people to join us on a Sunday morning twice a month to sing in the church choir. No previous music ability is required. There are a regular few who attend these services, and we would welcome more to join us. It is great to sing together. If you are interested, then please do contact This email address is being protected from spambots.
