A LETTER FROM YOUR RECTOR

Last month I was delighted to share the good news with you that Revd Sandra
FG: Christmas Lunch
Williams had been appointed by the Bishop of Sherborne as an Associate Priest in
the Benefice of West Purbeck. Rev Sandra will be licensed in Bere Regis Church on
11th AL: Christmas Afternoon Entertainment and Singing 2 October at 7.30pm. Please see the invitation elsewhere in this magazine and
nd
save the date; we hope you’ll be able to come to the Service to welcome Sandra
12th Pop in Performers Christmas Show and Graham and stay for refreshments in the Scout Hut afterwards.
It was very good for the Ministry Team to spend time with Sandra and Graham
13th Pop in Performers Christmas Show
recently when they came to look over the vicarage. Everyone is very much
looking forward to Sandra joining the team. Sandra is also really looking forward
14th Pop in Performers Christmas Show
to coming and has written a letter for this month’s magazine to introduce herself
to everyone.
