The Church Electoral Roll for Holy Trinity Blendworth

The revision of the current Church Electoral Roll has now been completed and is available at the back of the church to enable you to check that your details are correct. Any corrections to be made can be noted on the pages above the entries, but no further changes other than corrections can be made to the roll until after the Annual Parochial Church Meeting on 25th April. Thank you

Rogation Sunday

Rogation Sunday this year falls on May 9th and you will be able to read more about the celebrations in the April edition of the magazine.

Many people will remember travelling around the Benefice in a trailer drawn by a tractor, and although we are now unable to do this we are this year going to once again visit the four corners of the Benefice..

The plan is to meet in the car park at Holy Trinity Blendworth at half past two, stopping for worship at various points along the way and finishing at St Hubert’s Idsworth for a picnic tea. Our route will be via Holy Trinity -> St Giles -> St Michael’s Chalton and onwards to Idsworth.

If you would like to take part, we aim not to have an empty seat in any vehicle so we hope that there will be no problem for anyone wanting to go and enjoy the afternoon. We will also arrange to return people to Blendworth to collect their cars afterwards. We hope for a fine day!
