1. We are delighted to announce that the Revd. Patrick Webb has been appointed to the parish of Parks and Walcot. He and his wife Verity-Rose are coming to Swindon with their three young children. They have a heart to serve in the more economically deprived parts of the diocese.

2. Our churchwarden, Ali, will be going into hospital in about a week’s time. We are praying that she will have a short stay in hospital, a successful operation, and a rapid convalescence. That is the reason why Ali is currently wearing a face mask. Better not to get too close to her.

3. We hope to be able to announce some good news about a new Parish Safeguarding Officer next Sunday. Pray for this important appointment.
