A big thank you to Phil Hitchen and the Churchyard Champions for their perseverance in maintaining the churchyard this hot summer. The churchyard is looked after by a very small number of volunteers who have a vision for both the environment and it's role in the village.

The church remembers Aidan of Lindisfarne who helped bring Christianity to Northumbria, not through power or prestige, but by walking from village to village, teaching, listening, and caring for those in need. A quiet reminder that the gospel is often shared best, one conversation at a time.

We remember St Monica today, whose steadfast faith, patient love, and persistent prayer shaped the life of her son, St Augustine. Her story is a reminder that God often works quietly and faithfully over many years, and that prayers offered in hope are never wasted.

Today we remember Olaudah Equiano (c.1745–1797), kidnapped into slavery as a child, bought his freedom and became one of Britain's leading abolitionists. His faith convinced him that every person bears God's image. The gospel calls us to stand for justice, dignity and freedom.
