Many of you will remember that last September we had a very successful and enjoyable Guest Service. A guest service is one to which we all invite someone - a friend, family member, colleague, neighbour - recognising that the first step for many people to becoming a churchgoer will be being invited.
The service is a usual 10am service but with some little additions. Some parts of our service will be explained, helping those who are new to church or just exploring to understand why we do (and say and sing) what we do. We will make sure that the hymns are all well-known, the sermon accessible for all, and the coffee and cake plentiful! Above all I hope that you will feel more able to make the invitation because it’s a special guest service, and that your invitees will feel more comfortable accepting it for the same reason.
So, if you’re a regular attendee reading this, think and pray about who you should be inviting. If you’re not a regular, but your receive this email, then please
consider yourself invited! Everyone will be made very welcome!
Book of Remembrance
We now have a qualified calligrapher (after the sad loss of Hugo Brewer in 2017) to update the Remembrance book. This book sits alongside the Lady Chapel and is opened daily in remembrance of those mentioned on that date. There is a form in the folder at the back of the church for you to complete should you wish for your loved one to be included or complete the form below.
Once complete please return to: Ena Chandler Barbara Black or Rev Dave.
There is a small fee for this service of £20 and if possible please pay using the Gift Aid envelopes

St Augustine's Merchandise
Please come along to Sunday's service to see what yu can order - some lovely items that would make lovely Easter presents - or purchase something for yourself!
Please Note
Amendment to the poster:
It is the 4th Friday of the month rather than the last Friday
(we forgot about 5 week months)
In the New Year it will follow a regular pattern of the
4th Friday every month
- enjoy!!
Could you be our new Treasurer?
Following the resignation of our current Treasurer, Paul Dyer, we are seeking for a volunteer to take over that role as from the 1st January 2026. If anyone wishes to know more about what is involved, or volunteer, please speak to Rev Dave. Paul has very kindly agreed to continue until the year end to enable a smooth handover, and he is due a huge thank you for his work over the past few months.
At present the role covers the church accounts as well as the church hall, but it is hoped to separate the two for next year, and the role might also be split if need be.
