New times for church services from 1st July 2025.

All Sundays 11.00am Family Eucharist
A probably unique opportunity to acquire drawings made by the late professor Hugh Brogan offers itself on 7th June 2025.
Catherine Crawford, a one-time colleague and dear friend of Hugh, will be at the Shed behind Wivenhoe Bookshop between 2.00 and 6.00 pm, hoping for plenty interest in the sale which contains not only drawings and paintings but various other items including poetry but all connected with Hugh Brogan.
The sale coincides with St Mary’s June Market.
The video below was recorded on Wednesday 4 June to give a flavour of the occasion.
Proceeds of the sale will be shared by Wivenhoe’s 2 youth clubs, chosen for a reason revealed in the video.
Apologies for the wind noise on the audio.
. . . . and if anyone felt a sudden urge to perhaps write a letter about anything shared at the end of the meeting then a possibly helpful address to write to may be found here:

Celebrating new life the avian way a couple of peregrine falcons have found a place to do just that – at the top of Lincoln cathedral.
A live stream of the goings on in the nest has attracted interest from BBC R4 and Look North BBC, as well as from far afield globally.
The adults were brooding 4 eggs, 3 of which hatched yesterday and the 4th, laid later than the others, will hopefully join its sibling fluff balls soon.
Anyone can join the watch on Youtube:

Some brilliant bargains to be had – don’t miss it!
Sacrifice and Devotion are among the qualities we are encouraged to meditate on during the season of Lent.
The film chosen for this Friday can serve as an inspiration.
All are welcome.
