Welcome to

Hereford.
NOTICES FOR SUNDAY 14th June –The
First Sunday after Trinity
Towner Wedding: A certain Miss Liz Towner
is getting married in St James’ Church on July 25th at 2pm.
The intention is to provide party nibbles for guests in
church for an hour or so after the ceremony before the
party departs for the reception. If anyone has any flat
white cotton sheets that could be used to cover tables we’d
be most grateful to borrow them, also very large bowls and
glass jugs that could be used to serve fruit punch. If you
would like to be involved in preparing some food please see
Beryl Arnold (St Peter’s) or Jenny Brooks (St James’) for
details. Paul, and Anne and Liz warmly invite anyone from
the church family to share their day, and enjoy the nibbles
as well!

Rosemary will be held in the Cathedral on Sunday
28th June at 3.30pm. It will take the form of a Eucharist
