Organised by Bishop's Waltham Town Team: The concept is simple … you can give unwanted items for others to select and take. And you never know, you may find something useful to take home for free too! You do not have to give to take … you can give, you can take, or you can do both. This initiative is designed to recycle unwanted items and to reduce waste. Email bishopswalthamtownteam@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Wednesday 9th November 2022, 7.30pm
Time to Remember Service
St Peter's Church
Everyone is welcome to attend this service and light a candle in remembrance of a loved one.
An invitation to the service will be sent to the next of kin if the funeral details have been made known to St. Peter's Parish Office or the funeral was connected with St. Peter’s Church.
However if you would like to remember a relative or friend who would not be known to the Bereavement Group because:
• the person lived somewhere other than Bishop’s Waltham or Upham
• the funeral took place elsewhere including in another church in the area
• the funeral was not arranged by the local Undertaker
• the person passed away more than nine months ago,
please come but if possible, please let us know before the service, so that the name of the person you are coming to remember can be added to the list of names being read out during the service. You can do this by either ringing Helen Hills, 01489 893498 or speaking to one of the Bereavement Support Team when you arrive at the church.
