Pictures from the Flower Festival

Here is just a taste of the many lovely arrangements that are at St Gabriel's Church, Hanley Swan this weekend (13th and 14th June).

As well as flower arrangements in church, a number of village gardens are open - and we have some very keen gardeners here! Lunches and teas are available, there's a jazz concert on Saturday evening and "Songs of Praise" service on Sunday. Full details are available on http://www.hanleyandwelland.org.uk/

The sun's shining here,

so come and join us if you're

within reach of Worcestershire!

Flower and Garden Festival

At the moment I am praying fervently for good weather, as we have a major event at Hanley Swan this weekend. There is a Flower Festival at St Gabriel's Church, which also includes the opportunity to look round a number of local gardens. A very kind parishioner is serving lunches and teas in her garden on both Saturday and Sunday, as well as hosting a jazz event on Saturday evening. The weekend will be rounded off with a "Songs of Praise" service on Sunday evening. This event is in aid of the development fund, as we are hoping to be able to install a kitchen and loo in St Gabriel's Church, so that we can do things like running coffee mornings for older people.

If you live in the Malvern area, or you fancy a day out to beautiful South Worcestershire, all details of the event are on the our Benefice web-site www.hanleyandwelland.org.uk
