Remembrance Sunday on 9th November we all met at the War Memorial.

The Choir will be starting its rehearsals soon in preparation for the Nine Lessons and Carols Service on Tuesday 23rd December at 6.30pm.  All welcome – anyone interested please contact John Baylis on 680940.

FOR OUR PRAYERS

Our very best wishes go to everyone who is ill at the moment - especially if you are in hospital. Get well soon!

PRAYER CORNER

We have recently improved our facilities for people who drop in during the week to say a quiet prayer. In the far left corner of the church - the side chapel nearest the organ - there are now lots of prayer resources and books. There is also a board on which to leave requests for prayer on Sunday. Thanks to Anne Mean and Christine Chapman for setting this up. (P.S. Just in case you hadn't realized, the Church is open during daylight hours.)

GUIDED TYSOE WALKS

Responding to great demand a series of guided walks around the Tysoe area are now available in church. Written by Geoff Mean, designed by Kay Medlin and David Knight, the five walks - 'Lower Tysoe Walk', Old Lodge Walk', 'The Three Parishes Walk', 'The Village Walk' and 'The Epwell Walk' are all now available. The full colour brochures provide a detailed description of each walk, a map and photos of key points on the walk. They are free but we would appreciate a donation of £1 each (in the church wall safe by the door). Happy exploring!

The first two of the series are also available from this website! Just click here to be taken to the Guided Walks page.

Churchyard Working Party

Continues to meet in the churchyard on the second Tuesday of the month at 2:00 p.m.. We supplement the work of the grass cutting contractors by strimming, clearing gutters, painting and so on. Our most recent project is the creation of a wild flower area. If you'd like to help, please contact Gordon Head on 01295 680619.
