Believe it or believe it not the Walberswick Luncheon Club has now been running for two years. It would seem an appropriate time, therefore, to thank everyone who has helped to make it such a friendly and successful occasion. Oh, and by the way, the next one is on Friday June 10^th, 12.30 p.m. in the Village Hall.
The final weekend of June is going to be a busy one for the Anglican Church in Suffolk. For starters we are going to take over Portman Road! For the first time the Mother's Union, the world's largest Christian membership organisation will be holding its General meeting in East Anglia, on Saturday 25^th June. The 26 Provincial Presidents representing the organisation's 3.5 million members in 76 countries will join thousands of members from the UK and Ireland. The previous evening at 7.15 p.m. there is to be a special service of Welcome & Celebration which is open to anyone who wishes to attend. It promises to be a unique occasion, the largest Christian Act of Worship to be held in Suffolk for at least 25 years. The Sole Bay Team will be arranging coaches to both of these events, entrance to which is free.
On Sunday 26^th, again at Portman Road and starting at 6.00 p.m., the diocese is staging an evening of Christian Youth Worship called Xpression05, featuring four of the UK's leading Christian bands. For further information please contact Simon Ward (722192) or me.
On the morning of Sunday 26^th, at Bury St Edmunds cathedral, our new team curate, Caroline Hallett, is to be ordained deacon. A former schoolteacher, Caroline will be joining our team in September; she will be based at St Edmund's Southwold.

Yours in Christ's service,
Brian Fisher
