HAVE YOU A NEW NEIGHBOUR?

 

Many new residents to the parish have expressed appreciation of the ‘welcome pack’ given to them soon after their arrival.  It was initiated a few years ago by the Rector and the Local Ministry Team, and contains valuable information about the parish and all its amenities. It also contains a free copy of the current month’s Parish Magazine plus a very useful ‘parish directory’ which is updated annually in July, and an illustrated brochure about Bredon Village.

 

We apologise to any new residents who have not received a copy, but this means that we have not been informed of your arrival! Unfortunately, we are unable to ‘backdate’ delivery, but we hope to have a copy on display in the church when all the material has been updated.  We would like to encourage everyone (especially magazine distributors) to let us know of newcomers to the parish.
