A big thank-you to all those who supported the June fund raising events for the Festival of Trees to be held in the Church in Advent. (15 - 17 December) The Open Gardens in Longmead and the Coffee Morning at Penlee raised over £600 towards the festival expenses.
Thank you to all the people who have recently offered books for the Parish Church Library. We've go some interesting new titles in stock to offer some thought provoking reading. You'll find the library at the back of the church (near the font and by the Children's Corner). The library is free and open to anyone.
Members and friends of St Mary's Guild left Hemyock at 9:30 Wednesday June 6th for their outing. The venue this year was Crediton Parish Church for their floral tribute to 100 years of broadcasting.
On the 15th of July, we had a Parade Service at St. Mary's in Hemyock to celebrate the centenary of the Scout Movement. During the service, the scouts read some short poems about different aspect of life, and one of them was called 'Rest' by P Clifton.
As the new pavillion at Longmead becomes ready, help will be needed with painting and decorating.
