If doves and pigeons in the evening come
Later than usual to their dovehouse home;
If crows and daws do oft themselves bewet,
Or ants and pismires home apace do get;
If in the dust hens do their pinions shake,
Or by their flocking a great number make;
If swallows fly upon the water low,
Or woodlice seem in armies for to go;
If flies or gnats or fleas infest and bite,
Or sting more than their want by day and night;
If toads hie home or frogs do croak amain,
Or peacocks cry – soon after look for rain.
Olde Wives’ Lore – Anon
Minister's Message
Rev Alison Cooper
This is an edited version of the report that was made at the Annual Meeting
of the church in May:
It is very good to be able to
report with gratitude all that
has happened in the last twelve
months, and to take this
opportunity to celebrate so
much that has continued to
nurture our church life.
Worship is the priority of any
church. As from the first Sunday
in May, we now offer a shorter,
non-Eucharistic service on most
first Sundays, which may be
more accessible to families who
have very young children. To
keep this in balance, on the first
and third Sundays of each
month, a Book of Common
Prayer Communion is held at 8
a.m.
