Westfield

Westfield Church: celebrated the completion of our Curate Joy's three years curate training on Sunday, in fitting style with fizz, cake and strawberries. Joy has been such a well-loved and caring priest to all of us '“ and the good news is that we can look forward to the next phase of her ministry as she is staying with us. Services this Sunday, July 16 are both Holy Communion, at 8am and 10am. Remember that the following Sunday's Family Service is a Pet Service, so bring your furry or feathered friends along (suitably caged if appropriate!) to take part.

The sun shone: for Westfield Cricket Club’s Cricketfest held last Sunday. The cricket field was busy with various not too serious cricket matches for all ages, and visitors and crickets alike enjoyed various stalls, barbecue, refreshments and so on, or simply relaxed in glorious sunshine. It was great to see so many children enjoying themselves.
