#481It’s an ill wind that blows nobody any good
I had a chat earlier with my cousin who had moved up to the north of Scotland. He was telling me that he has been having terrible trouble with the wind. I have not had the same problem as I get a regular breakfast of All-bran every day now that I am staying with Peter.
So onto news for this week ….
This Sunday
We shall be celebrating the Eighth Sunday after Trinity at 9:30 with Bishop Mary, Bishop of Reading, in charge. This will be her first visit to St Paul’s so please make her feel very welcome. I may even offer her some of my cheese (I only said maybe)
The Service at St Nick’s will be led at 11:00am by Roy Burgess.
Fr Sam and Cara
Another reminder that the Service to Institute, Induct and Install Fr Sam, and to License Cara will be held on Thursday 28th August at 7:30pm
Janet and David Charlton
On Sunday 17th August Janet and David Charlton will be celebrating their Diamond Wedding Anniversary and will be providing cake and fizz after the service for everyone to join in their celebration.
Music for Summer
Also on Sunday 17th August. At 6.15pm, come and hear music by Bach, Rheinberger, Guilmant and others inspired by travel and holidays away from home, performed by our brilliant organist Christopher Cipkin.

Mothers Union
The Mothers’ Union members at Riseley Tea Rooms, following a visit to West Green Gardens as part of our annual outing. The weather was dry and not too hot, and a good time was had by all.
Evensong at Portsmouth Cathedral
The choir will be singing Evensong at a Portsmouth Cathedral on Saturday 11th October and if any of you would like to come with us, we would love to have your support. A coach will leave Wokingham (Parish Room car park) at 10.00 am and leave Portsmouth at 7.45 pm. The cost will be no more than £25.00 per adult, hopefully less, £7.50 per child – cost depends on numbers. There is a sign-up sheet at the back of church or you can email Rhoda at rhoda297@gmail.com.
