DATES FOR YOUR DIARY: Friday 25 June – 7 pm – Holy Trinity, Bicton Mary-Lou’s Farewell Service Following the announcement of her retirement, this will be Mary-Lou’s final service in Severn Loop. As we still don’t know which – if any – social-distancing regulations will be lifted that week, booking is in place. We are now almost fully booked, but do contact your churchwarden if you would like a place; if there are none left, we will also hold a waiting list. Regardless of the national situation on 25th June, we will keep to the current social distancing regulations for this service and encourage those who are not there in person to use the livestream.

Monday 5 July – 7 pm – Holy Trinity, Leaton Rev Hannah Lins to be licensed as Interim Priest in Charge by the Bishop of Shrewsbury We are asking you to book for this service as well, in case there are still restrictions in force. Booking will open from 5 June. Full details soon.
CHURCHES RE-OPEN FOR WORSHIP* All our churches except for the Mission Church, Bomere Heath, are now open again for worship. Please check this month's Loop (below) for full details.

Prayer Shawl Ministry (see www.shawlministry.com) The Prayer shawl ministry is highly valued. Prayer shawls are received with great joy; often the recipient does not know about this source of comfort and it is much appreciated. Thank you to all those who knit them with love and care and prayer. Here’s how to knit one : 500-600g total of at least two colours of DK yarn, i.e. 5-6 x 100g balls. Cast on 81 stitches using two different coloured strands of yarn. Every row: Knit 3, purl 3 to last three stitches, knit 3. This is not a rib pattern, so you will always knit the purls and purl the knits. Continue until the shawl measures at least 52in (132cm), ideally 56in (142cm). Cast off. Pray before, during and after your knitting. Contact Joyce Jagger when you’ve finished so that she can arrange collection and delivery to its new owner.
