Shrove Tuesday at Churchover
It has become a tradition at Churchover to hold an informal service in the village hall on the evening of Shrove Tuesday. The service led by the Rev'd Beth Smith was followed by pancakes cooked by Wendy Bussfield and her son Jeremy. Over £30 was raised at this event for Wateraid.

Thank you Tom

Following 25 years of faithful service at Holy Trinity Church in Churchover, Mr Tom Seekings played at his last service as the regular church organist. Tom has travelled countless miles, in all weathers, to be at Churchover for the services. He has also helped out at other churches in the Revel Group. The Tom was presented with a DVD Recorder as a token of thanks from the Church. He also received a boquet of flowers on behalf of his wife.

Brinklow Belfry Update
Brinklow Bellringers Project update
It is now six months since we launched our project and we have progressed at a reasonable pace. We have managed to raise, through pledges and donations, about £14,000 towards our goal of £35,000, which is fantastic! This includes the generous donation of a bell in memory of Harry Windsor, a bellringer from Harbury near Southam. The bell will record this fact with an appropriate inscription. A big thank you to all those who have helped and encouraged us so far. Look out for events next year around the village that we will be organising!
If you are interested in what we do and would like to see what goes on then feel free to give us a visit. Either meet us on a Wednesday night (1930-2100 hrs) or before our Church services. Alternatively call Tim Wykes on 01788-832098.
