SPECIAL COMMEMORATIVE SERVICE MARKING THE KING’S CORONATION

As is customary on the first Sunday of the month there will be a church service at 9:30 on Sunday, 6th May. However, rather than the customary Morning Prayer service there will be a Special Commemorative service marking the King’s Coronation – all welcome to this short service.

On the Bank Holiday Monday morning the village will be visited by a band of bell ringers who are going to celebrate the Coronation by ringing the four church bells for about 20 minutes.  The Bell Ringers’ Guild is hoping to ring at every tower in Rutland over the course of the Coronation weekend and prior to this village on Monday they will ring in Ayston.  They are expected around mid-morning.

Also, on Bank Holiday Monday from 10:00 we are participating in the Big Help Out, giving people an opportunity to volunteer to do something within their community.  A huge thank you to the various villagers who have already offered an hour or a couple of hours of their time to tackle a multitude of tasks – a list of tasks will be in the church porch.  If you are not able to help in the day but are happy to take on one or more of the tasks please mark the list to that effect.  Light refreshments will be available in the morning.
