When the Bishop & some Lambs came to lunch

Sounds like the start of a joke, but it isn’t.

A brilliant, uplifting, Rogation Service was held on Sunday 10 May, followed by our Community Spring & Share Lunch, with so much food that people will not need to eat for the next few days.

We went outside and blessed the fields & livestock, wishing our farmers a good harvest later in the year, and back in the hall there was lots of chatter.

Joining us were two week old lambs, which made the service interesting with their bleating (keeping people laughing) and we were also joined by the Bishop of Church of England Diocese of Worcester , Bishop Hugh, who took time to speak to everyone present, and he enjoyed the warmth he received from our community.

Some people came just to see the lambs, some just for lunch and others attended both events. It was nice to see people, young and not so young, coming together to keep this annual event alive.

To remind Bishop Hugh of his visit to our community, he was give one of our Fairfield Coffee Mugs.
