Noticeboard

Small study groups - looking at The Creeds: October / November in various locations
Coming up soon, in a similar format to the way we looked at the Lord's Prayer in Lent, we will be looking at the
Creeds. From the earliest days Christians developed short, simple summaries of the faith - you could think of each
Creed as a hamper full of good things, each waiting to be unwrapped, tasted and savoured, each one able to help
us understand faith and know God better.
Tuesdays at 2pm from 8th October - 7 Bream Close SN11 9UF
Tuesdays at 7.30pm from 8th October - Church House
Wednesdays at 11am from 9th October - Church House
Wednesdays at 7:30 pm from 9th October – on Zoom (contact stevenc@mardenvale.org.uk for the link)

Holy Trinity Churchyard is now being maintained by Calne Town Council.  The churchyard was closed in 2020. There are grave location maps for the 1896, 1954, 1964 and cremated remains sections. There is limited information for the 1834 section.
