PRAYING FOR +MARTIN GORDON & GOMA We played this report from +Martin last week in the Abbey, but it was hard for many of us to hear. Please do listen – just two minutes long – and so much need for prayer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWtV-KAXlKo&t=1s

DORCHESTER OPEN GARDENS SATURDAY 21ST JUNE 1PM-5PM 13 gardeners around the village are working hard (between showers) to prepare their gardens for Dorchester Open Gardens, raising money for Dorchester Abbey.  There’s a great range of gardens this year, from small courtyards to large family gardens with ponds and vegetables. Buy a programme from Snug, Dorchester Abbey Tearoom or the Coop (cash only). This is always a glorious village afternoon of wandering around with Pimms, tea and cake to keep you going. There will be a plant stall from 1pm at 77 High Street until the plants run out.

CONFIRMATION CLASSES We’ve had a good number interested in becoming confirmed this year. Groups for classes will be organised soon – if you are interested in joining or finding out more about confirmation then please email admin@dorchester-abbey.org.uk

JOIN IN WITH A NATURE AND CLIMATE INITIATIVE One of A Rocha UK’s firm beliefs is that weare more likely to nurture and defend God’s creation if we spend time enjoying it. Joining in with wider initiatives also reminds us of the power and encouragement of being part of communities and taking action together. Churches Count on Nature, 30 Days Wild, and The Great Big Green Week all take place across June. Join an awareness-raising event or nature count as an individual, with your household or church. Find out more at caringforgodsacre.org.uk/churches-counton-nature-faqs, wildlifetrusts.org/30-dayswild and greatbiggreenweek.com.
