You were all amazing in 2020 with your support for our churches at a very difficult time and you will remember that in April I did a walk around the Benefice and raised over £8,000 which was a fantastic testimony to your generosity. So far this year we have been unable to do any fundraising events for our churches, so on July 11th I am going to do a 'Birthday Prayer Walk' (I am 63 on 9th July) leaving Iron Acton after the Open Air All Age Family Service, stopping at all our Places of Worship to pray for you all and our communities, ending up at our Benefice Picnic Service that afternoon in the Bishop's Garden in Winterbourne at 4pm.

Once again I am asking for you to be generous and to 'please sponsor me' by either making a BACS payment to the Benefice or individual Parish accounts (all details below) or by dropping a donation or cheque (made payable to your preferred church), into the Rectory. One big difference this year is you can join me on the walk or catch up with me at varying points. I will let you know timings and the route in the coming weeks. Please come and join me on the 11th and lets see if with your generous support we can't beat last year's amazing total!
