Many thanks to Clive Jones! St. Mary's Church Annual Meeting paid grateful thanks to Clive Jones, who stood down as churchwarden after serving for twenty years. In addition to his duties as churchwarden, Clive has served on the church council for forty years. This is a tremendous record of dedication and service in which Clive has given so much of his heart and feelings. We are all indebted to Clive, and to his wife Carol who has unfailingly supported him (and who has also served on the church council for many years), and we place on record our thanks and appreciation. We are delighted that Clive will remain a very active member of our church family and will continue to be a part of the lay ministry team.
.......and to Peter and Rachael Flagg! On Saturday 17th May the annual Plant Sale in aid of church funds was held at Peter and Rachael's home 'Trent View', although this year was special in that Peter had recently undergone major heart surgery. However, Peter, aided by Rachael, played a large part in the organisation and running of the sale, which has raised in excess of £650. Despite the weather, attendance was high and we all gained from such a happy event. Many thanks to all who helped.

School of Formation The School of Formation is an exciting new project in the Diocese to support "Changing Lives" - further details can be found on www.bathandwells.org.uk Changes in the Church mean that more and more parishes are relying on Local Ministry Teams(LMT) to lead Worship, Intercessory Prayers etc., not only during interregnums, but as a support to the incumbent. Our LMT, initially Bill and Helen Watkins, Clive Jones and Marguerite Batchelor, approached the diocese for guidance and training and were pleased to discover this new project just being set up. They are delighted to be one of the first teams to have the opportunity to learn from the School of Formation. The SoF will in turn be able to use our team for feedback. The project is still at the discussion stage, but courses are being devised and, it is hoped, can soon go ahead. Details will be confirmed so that anyone interested can join in.
