Earlier today we caught up with Bishop of Dudley on day 9 of his 12 day Pilgrimage of Prayer and Hope around the diocese. Today he was visiting churches in Pershore and Evesham Deanery. He also joined the children and staff of Cropthorne & Charlton First School at their Remembrance Day Service.

Last Sunday St Nicholas Warndon held a special outdoor service of Remembering. Candles were lit and ribbons were tied to the ancient yew tree with names read out remembering loved ones no longer with us. Last year, due to Covid, the church moved the service outdoors and felt it worked so well, that they held it outside again this year.
