All the Best to Adrienne Bridger as she leaves for Canada on Thursday week where Adrienne s grandson, Phil, is getting married to Joy. You may recall that Phil has been in our prayers as he works as a missionary in some very dangerous places in the world. Baptism Visitors Each time there s a Baptism in Church most Sundays at 11.30am, a member of the congregation has already been to meet the family and then is around to welcome them when they arrive. The team of visitors is stretched, especially through the summer, and a few more members are needed. If you would like to find out more about becoming a Baptism Visitor, please see Fr. Mike.

This annual Festival began yesterday. It s an opportunity for residents of Waterlooville to hear good quality music and to come inside the Church may be for the first time. Eucharists The Eucharists are at the normal times on both Sundays and on the Wednesday. On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday there will be a said Eucharist at 9.00am. This is an opportunity for quiet prayer before the very busy day begins. These services will be in the Lady Chapel. Open Piano On Tuesday, from 1.30pm, you are welcome to come and play the Church piano. There s no need to book just turn up and be ready to play! Seating In order that the pews are not scraped across the Church floor or carried around too many times, they are being moved to the sides of the Church on Friday morning this week. This means that for the next two Sundays chairs will be used instead, although a couple of pews will remain in place. Do not fear there is no plan whatever to remove the pews permanently and they will be put back on the Monday after the Festival. This action is a health and safety consideration for the team of people who move the pews around. Stalls Throughout the Festival Week there will be stalls in Church selling Traidcraft food, cards and crafts, jars of chutneys and sweets, good quality books and WMF merchandise. You can also spend time looking at the children s paintings from Queen s Inclosure Primary School. Refreshments Don t forget that refreshments will be served in Church every day throughout the Music Festival starting on the Monday. Breakfasts coffee and lunches will be available and on most evenings a bar will be open before and during the concerts. On the Thursday morning St. George s Market will be open in the Church Hall. Please do not bring your own alcohol to performances in Church as the bar licence forbids this.
Performances Every day there are morning, lunchtime and afternoon concerts to which you are very welcome they re free! The evening concerts need tickets for admission and these will be available on the door. Please note that the performances on Tuesday, Friday and Saturday evenings are now sold out. Last Night of the Proms Please note a change from previous years. Chairs will be provided in the Church and ticket holders are being asked not to bring their own chairs this year. You are still welcome to bring a picnic and the bar will be open from 6.00pm. 1st Horndean Scout Group are raising funds to support Explorer Scouts going to Switzerland for two weeks in August with a horse-racing evening on the 25th June in St. George s Church Hall.
