Mark Poole's priesting & First Mass
Revd Mark Poole will be priested at Holy Trinity Church Stockton on the Forest on Saturday 3 July, 3pm.
If you have been allocated a seat in the church for the ordination service, you are also invited to join Mark and his family in Stockton village hall after the service. In order to comply with regulations on numbers, only people with a seat in church are expected in the village hall. Sorry for any disappointment this may cause.
Any food which you are kindly contributing to the Buffet tea should be dropped off at the hall between 12 and 1pm on Saturday 3rd July. As from Monday 21st June, all church places are taken.
Please pray for Mark and all who are being ordained this weekend.
Mark will be presiding at his first communion on Sunday 4th July in Stockton at 10.30am. There will also be services in Warthill and Dunnington that morning, but people are welcome to come to Stockton so long as they book with Ennis (ennisjacksonuk@yahoo.co.uk or 400364).
Revd Nick is taking on another epic (crazy?) challenge.

In December 2020 we launched our appeal to raise £100K for essential building maintenance. Most significantly the Tower Room roof needs a complete rebuild and the heating system needs replacing.
