WE have participated in the Worcester and Dudley Historic Churches Trust (WDHCT) Ride and Stride event for many years now. The aim is to visit as many churches as possible in the Malvern area, be it on a bike or on foot or even horse! So, we wish Allan luck on his intrepid bike ride and raising his sponsorship money. Half of the money collected will go to WDHCT and half to Christ. Of course Christ Church will be open on Saturday, September 10 from 10am-4pm to greet visitors, bikes and walkers and even horses. Our Book Fair will be extended for the day so you can come, without bike as well and browse all day at books, DVDs, CDs, cards and gifts and have refreshments too. Look forward to seeing you there. Our Holy Communion will be at 11am on Sunday, September 11 and this week we are delighted to be joined by Malvern St James School girls, parents and their new Headmistress Mrs Olivera Rarity.
