ST.BARTHOLOMEW’S CHURCH: Two services will take place at the local church on Sunday 10th July.
The normal service of “Holy Communion” starts at 9:30am and everybody is welcome.
Later in the day at 3:00pm a Celebration Service takes place to celebrate Sutton resident Mr Bryan Birkett’s 50 years of dedicated service to the church as Tower Captain.
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. This ancient craft is part of our National heritage as well as our local Heritage and will hopefully remain so, thanks to Bryan and his band of dedicated ringers! Residents are invited to the special service which will be followed by light refreshments. Anyone wishing to attend are asked to contact the church to make them aware for catering purposes. They can be contacted by emailing: sutton-church@msn.com or by telephoning the Revd Sue Caddy on (01777) 703 322.
