The Madingley Remembrance Service, conducted by Christine Barrow, will take place in the Parish Church on 12th November starting at 10.50. Coffee and tea will be served afterwards so please stay if you are able. The cash collection will be taken in aid of the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. Donations placed in the yellow Gift Aid envelopes will be given to Madingley PCC.
Please note that this is the only service planned to take place in the church during November and that all other services will be held in the Village Hall while we wait for the new Chancel floor to dry out so it can be sealed. The Church will remain closed until further notice.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
