On the 10th July there is a Holy Communion Service at 9.30am and on the 24th of July there is a Morning Praise service again at 9.30am
There are five Sunday’s in July so we will have an additional service in the Marshlands Benefice in Adlingfleet on the 31st at 11.00am. This will be a Songs Of Praise service so please join us in singing some of our favourite hymns and worship songs. This service will be followed by a picnic.

Last Wednesday the Bishop of Doncaster the Right Reverend Peter Burrows formally licensed Rev. Justine Smith as the Priest In Charge of the Marshlands Benefice.
The event was held at Whitgift church which was packed with friends from Justine’s previous parish and her new friends from the Marshlands. It was a fantastic occasion and truly marked the beginning of a new chapter in the life of the Anglican church in our wonderful part of the world.
Justine’s first service in the Marshlands will be this Sunday at Eastoft where we will be joined with the good folks from Whitgift church.
If you haven’t yet had chance to meet Justine, then you are more than welcome us at the service, which will be at 9.30 am.
The following Sunday, there is a United Benefice Service at Swinefleet church at 11.00am.
As we move into June there will be two services at Eastoft.
There is a Holy Communion service at 9.30am on the 12th and a Morning Praise service on the 26th which is also at 9.30am
We look forward to seeing you sometime soon as we begin our new journey together.

I’ve been asked to let everyone know about the services and news as not everyone gets the Marshland Messenger or has chance to see the service times on the church notice board.
Since the retirement and sad passing on of the Revd. Ken, the Diocese has done some further fantastic work in trying to find someone to take on the Marshlands post. The result is that someone is showing great interest in the Marshlands.
There is a service at 2pm at Eastoft on Sunday the 6th (this Sunday) and then afterwards there will be a chance to discuss the post and the potential candidate in anticipation of an interview on Monday the 14th.
We would be delighted to see as many people at church on Sunday and for the meeting afterwards so that the needs of Eastoft can be thoroughly considered.
December is such a special time in the Church calendar and we hope that the Marshlands Parish can offer you all an opportunity to share in worship at some point.
There will be a Carol service at Eastoft on Sunday the 13th December at 6.30pm, where there will be Carols and Christmas readings…There might even be a mince pie and a cup of tea afterwards!

The primary school are holding their Christingle service in church on Friday the 11th at 2.00pm
And of course the Parish Council have arranged once again for Carols Around the Tree on Wednesday the 16th at 7pm…I’m already praying that the weather is fine

The service of Remembrance will be held at St. Margaret’s Church in Swinefleet.
The service will commence at 10.45am in the Church.
Once the church service is concluded there will be a short service at the Cenotaph. A coach has been laid on to ferry everyone to the other end of the village and back.
