YOUR DIARY Re-building the team

I’m pleased to report that the Revd David Chillman has been appointed as our
2021 House for Duty Priest in the Lulworth parishes. David should join the team
sometime in January and will be living in The Rectory in West Lulworth.
Floral Group Autumn Leaves Twinning Interviews will also be held this month for the Incumbent post, the successful

Women’s Institute Pop in Place Gardening Club candidate will have oversight of the benefice, be full time and live in The
Vicarage in Wool.

away on business.

7th Communibus - Street Shopping Village
This has certainly been a sad couple of years for everyone, especially as we
15th Xmas Festivities haven’t been able to mourn loved ones in the way we would normally like. This
service is chance to set aside some time to remember, reflect and give thanks for
those we love who have passed away not just in the last two years, but at any
16th Salt and Pepper Club time. It will also be a chance to reflect on this time of pandemic and pray for all
those who have lost their lives because of it and all those who have given service
21st Communibus - Xmas Lights & Fish and Chip supper in anyway during it. Much has been lost during this time – not just people, but
jobs, schooling, freedoms, routines and, sadly, perhaps even hope. Please take
this as an open invitation to any who would like to attend.
