Dear Friends,

Hasn’t the weather been glorious this week? Too hot for some I’m sure, but for many it has been a joy.

We were lucky enough to spend the week on the edge of Dartmoor in a little village called North Bovey, first celebrating the wedding of a daughter of friends we have known for 40 years and then walking the wonders of Dartmoor, it has been a delight to be away for the first time since February 2020, but also lovely to come home to see how much the garden has grown in a week – we have so much produce – courgettes, tomatoes, potatoes, peas, cucumbers, beetroot, Swiss chard, and more so we shan’t need to buy any veg this week.

A huge thank you to Alan Smallwood, Sue Partridge, Suzanne Cole and Margaret Zandona for making sure the weekly sheets were available and delivered where necessary. They are attached as normal to this email.

Tomorrow’s services are as follows:
9.30am Matins at Ockley
10.30am Morning Worship at Capel

Don’t forget we also have the next teas at Capel this Sunday afternoon 3-5pm, please do pop in and support your church – bring friends!

Later this coming week will see the Service of Thanksgiving for Douglas James at St John’s Capel, 2.30pm on Tuesday. May we extend our thoughts and prayers to his family at this sad time. He and Hazel were wonderful supporters of our village and local church – may they rest in peace.

I look forward to seeing many of you tomorrow, but for those who can’t make it, do let us know if there is anything else we can do to help.

Finally, 3 photos this week, all of Devon looking at it’s best.

With love and prayers

Dear friends,

We look forward to welcoming Liz and Doug back this weekend following their summer break.  We also wish the Weekly sheets editor, Debbie von Bergen, a happy holiday this week in Devon, together with an enjoyable day for the wedding that she is attending today.  We thank Alan Smallwood for stepping in as temporary editor this week and attach the weekly sheet for Sunday 18th July, together with the readings.  Thanks to Sue Partridge too for delivering the paper copies later today around Capel.

I hope everyone is enjoying the heat!  Below are some photos from a visit this week to RHS Wisley which is looking glorious in the height of summer – swathes of colour everywhere!  So much inspiration and so few weeds ….a joy to behold!

Enjoy the sunny weekend!

Best wishes,

Suzanne–

Dear Friends,

Sport has rather taken over in our house this week, not only has my husband watched most of the Euro football matches – not just England, which given he’s not generally a football follower means he thinks we have a chance of winning, but he’s also watching the Rugby matches which feature two Lions teams this weekend. I thought that sounded rather confusing, but he tells me that it will all become clear as they play the match! I obviously don’t understand!

Whilst all the sport is being watched and played, Suzanne Cole has managed to produce yet another wonderful edition of InSpire. Copies are in our churches now so do pick yours up. We have also delivered copies to those who are struggling to get into church so hopefully no-one has missed out. Do let me know if for any reason you can’t go to church to pick up a copy and we will try and deliver one to you. Inspire is also available online here: www.capelandockleychurch.org.uk/2021/06/30/inspire-magazine-issue-52-july-2021/

Suzanne has also been busy creating more beautiful cards which are available in Capel church, please leave a donation in the wall safe. These cards have been very popular, we have raised over £250 from them, so thank you for supporting our church in this way.

Sadly, whilst doing my deliveries today I heard that Bernie Osborne died this week. Please include her family and friends in your prayers. Her name is not on this week’s sheets but will be included next week.

Graham Everness will take both our services tomorrow – 9.30am Matins at Ockley and 10.30am morning worship at Capel. A huge thank you to Graham for leading us in worship again this week.
This is the first week that the diocese have not produced a weekly sermon, so Graham has kindly given me the sermon he will give tomorrow which I attach for those who can’t be in church.

Our online services will continue for now, please do let us know if you find them helpful, how often you view them and any other suggestions you may have.

I also attach the readings and this week’s weekly sheet.

Don’t forget that Sunday afternoon sees the first ever Ockley church teas 3-5pm, please support them by having a cup of tea and eating lots of cake!

Lastly, the photo of the week is a rather misty view of Polesden Lacey taken from Ranmore this week – the weather has not been conducive to photography this week.

With love and prayers
