St Mary's Church News

July saw two wonderful weddings at St Mary’s Church, Hawkedon. The first was the marriage of Alice Deeks (grand-daughter of former Church Warden, Jean Cawston) and Thomas Knowles and then on 22 July Beth Huckstep and Andy Mather also tied the knot - both very happy events.

The licensing and installation by Bishop Martin of our new priest, the Revd Dr Simon Hill took place on Wednesday, 26 July at All Saints, Chevington. It was a joyful and moving occasion and we have warmly welcomed Simon and his wife Barbara to Hawkedon for a service in August.

The floodlighting of St Mary’s church tower is reserved for festivals and special occasions. If you would like to sponsor the lighting for a week to celebrate a birthday or an anniversary, or to remember a loved one, please let me know. The cost is £15 for the week. Contact: david.taylor1@btinternet.com or 789324.
The lights for the week of 27th August are in memory of Dorothy Williamson. The lights for the week of 19th July were to celebrate the wedding of Beth Huckstep with Andy Maher. The lights for the week of 3rd September are in memory of Julian Gardner and the week of 18th September is in memory of Bill and Joan Vevers.
