LAST Sunday the family service at St Peter's Church included baptism. The service was led by The Rev. David Nichol who baptised Joshua James and Nathaniel Luke Parry, a pair of twins from Byron's Wood. The organist was Sally Lindsey who also read the lesson, and prayers were led by Meg Allsopp. Next Sunday there will not be a service at 11am instead a pets service will be held at 4pm. Everyone is welcome to bring a pet or two!

Tomorrow, Saturday, hurry along to the summer fete organised by Powick Playing Fields Association (on the field behind Powick Primary School). The fete starts at 2pm and entry is 50p (under 11s free). Among the attractions are belly dancers, Appleyard Folk dancers, young fire-fighters and quad bikes.
