WE gathered for a very moving service last weekend to mark Remembrance Sunday. At the war memorial in the churchyard, those from Castlemorton who gave their lives in World Wars I and II were remembered when the laying of the poppy wreath was accompanied by the Last Post and Rouse played by Tim Hughes. A visitor remarked 'It was a very poignant, meaningful service, beautifully judged to set a balanced view of Remembrance.' Thank you to all involved.

Tickets are now on sale for our Christmas Brass concert with the Ledbury Community Brass Band and Bernadette Kearney. This takes place on Thursday 8 December in the church at 7.30pm and has become a popular annual event. Do buy your tickets in advance (£10 from Kevin Jeffery 01531 635310) as we intend to present a cheque at the concert representing funds raised by this event.

CaCoffany Christmas Special takes place on Saturday 3 December 10am - 12noon, when you will have the chance to sing well loved Christmas carols and browse the various stalls on display in the church. Coffee and delicious cakes will be available as usual. Do join us to enjoy social time together and help raise funds to maintain our beautiful church.
