NOTICES
Mary Sumner Day
It all started when Mary, married to George Sumner,Rector of the Parish of Old Alresford, was passionate about transforming the home-lives of Parish families,by helping the women to support one another in raising their children. She wanted to create an organisation for women that brought together rich and poor to build a network that would support mothers of all kinds as they brought up their children in Christian faith and she thus, started the Mothers Union in 1876. As members continue their essential work across Britain and Ireland, and around the world, they are demonstrating that it is a movement that provides relief to those in need. Despite the huge difficulties presented by the current circumstance, Mothers’ Union is still working against violence, poverty, and injustice.
For more information please contact Anne Everitt.

Saturday 15th August 2020
VJ Day (Victory over Japan) was marked on 15th August 1945. It is 75th anniversary is being commemorated this year by the sounding of the ‘Last Post’ following two minutes of silence at 11.00am. There will be a cry for Peace and then bells will ring.
The service will begin at 10.55am around the War Memorial. People are welcome to stand socially distanced and it will be livestreamed to Facebook and uploaded to YouTube and our Website afterwards. If the weather is inclement, the service will be held inside the church and unfortunately this will mean we can only have a few people present, to abide by the social distancing rules.
Yellow Hearts
Many of you will have seen these small yellow hearts with names on, pinned on the cross at the front of the church. The names are those of loved ones who have sadly, died during the Covid -19 pandemic, but not necessarily of Covid. It is a way of remembering a loss of anyone dear to you when you perhaps have not been able to attend their funeral.
Please contact Revd. Sharon Lord on 01502 516800 or email rector@pakefieldchurch.com if you wish a heart to be added.
