There will be a celebration of dads on the website for Father’s Day, Sunday, June 21.

Normally there would be Father’s Day services in the church buildings, but lockdown has made this impossible, so instead the parish is holding an informal service online, available from 9am.

“At the service we will be celebrating the role of fathers,” says Lesley Crawley. “We will have a father explaining what it means to him and children talking about their father. We will also remember that all of us have a loving Father in heaven, and recognise that not everyone has had a father on earth that was good or safe or present.”
