Monday 8th June 11am
Just in case anyone has missed this auspicious
date. We are celebrating the life and huge
contribution to our church community and beyond,
of our Reader Emerita, Wendy Pezzey, who sadly
died on Pentecost Sunday. Her funeral Eucharist
will be led by Rev’d Keith Robus.

Our new pre-school, “Little Doves”
You will have seen the sign in the church yard
facing Paradise Road advertising the new pre-
school, being run by Sarah and Jamie Dove. Sarah
is moving from a church school to branch out into
her own business, along with her musician
husband, Jamie. She is already planning their
Christmas event and booking the date in church.
They are both very keen to have a closer
connection with us and I am sure we will welcome
their youthful input!! We wish them both every
success with their new venture.

Cornerstone Vision/Plymouth Chronicle
I am so sorry to report that Cornerstone Vision has
ceased trading due to ongoing financial
difficulties. So no more free local newspapers
around the city, advertising our events. ... in
particular our two fairs and all of our concerts.
This is rather disastrous and any input with
additional ideas about where our events can be
publicised free of charge would be gratefully
received!

Storm Force roofing and newly planted area
I am delighted to report visible progress with our
bell tower roof, judging by the number of vehicles
in our car park!

As you will see Ann, John M, Jerry and
occasionally Kelly, have been working hard to
upgrade the appearance around this area with some
uprooting and new planting. Ann is already
displaying hanging baskets for sale. Thanks to all
of you for these strenuous efforts.

there is also a facility for booking tickets via the

There is no article this week because I am taking a
break with family from London and the Midlands.
There should be an article again next week.
