confirmation candidate Karen with Bishop MichaelOn Wednesday 27 July, the West Worcestershire Rural Team welcomed Bishop Michael Hooper to one of their twice monthly Communion Service held in Heaton House, Martley, to Baptise and Confirm Karen, one of the regular members of the group which meets together there.

The Revd Jennifer Whittaker said: 

"It was a truly joyful occasion as 35 of us crowded into the lounge to support our very excited candidate. Bishop Michael was quite delightful, embracing the atmosphere of the Fellowship, making everyone feel so special and truly affirming Karen in her decision to commit her life to Jesus Christ. The celebrations continued after the service with everyone enjoying coffee and cakes. Thank you so much to Bishop Michael."

Congratulations to Karen!

Diocesan Small Churches Choir

11th November 2025

At the celebration service for small churches service held in the Cathedral last May, a number of singers expressed a wish to be able to sing together more often. Mark and Linda Blackwell from Fladbury (Nr Evesham) felt called to use their experience to try to set up a choir made up from singers from the small churches across the Diocese to sing at occasional services at Worcester and other cathedrals.
