A Service of Celebration
50 Years dedicated service by
Mr Bryan Birkett as Tower Captain
A service to celebrate Mr Bryan Birkett’s 50 years of dedicated service to the church as Tower Captain will be held on Sunday 10th July at 3:00pm. The Right Reverend Tony Porter, Bishop of Sherwood, will be the guest preacher.
Bryan as Tower Captain has been responsible for the ringing of the church bells at Sutton which have played an important part in many weddings, funerals, special occasions and church services as well as being host to visiting ringers. Sutton bells are popular among ringers in the area who descend on St Bartholomew’s on a Wednesday evening for practice night to ring their melodies for the village’s pleasure.
Residents are invited to the special service which will be followed by light refreshments. Anyone wanting to attend are asked to contact the church to make them aware for catering purposes no later than 1st June.
They can be contacted by:
email: sutton-church@msn.com
telephoning the Revd Sue Caddy on (01777) 703 322
A collection has also been arranged and again anyone wishing to contribute can do so by contacting the church.
