Betty Barnfield celebrates her 100 years
Mrs Betty Barnfield (nee Betty Estrelle Everett) celebrated her 100th birthday on the 24th January 2020. Betty must be one of, if not the longest standing resident of Eastington, having lived here since 1931 and still very much a part of the community. She has always been very involved with life in the village, and […]
Christmas Tree Festival 2019

When the going gets tough! Do you ever have problems? Are things ever difficult? What if the problems just keep coming? When the going gets tough, to what or whom do you turn? How do you cope? What helps you get by? As many of you will know I was diagnosed with cancer (follicular lymphoma) […]

St Michael & All Angels, Eastington
The gifts we give do not have to be expensive or extravagant, but sometimes the time spent with a neighbour or a smile at someone we see can be just as meaningful. Sometimes we forget that God gave us the most precious gift of all, his Son Jesus Christ. This Christmas, everyone is invited to […]

It is nearly that time of year again when once again we celebrate Christmas and when EMC encourages everyone to think about its true meaning (which isn’t turkey, chocolate or spending a fortune in the shops second guessing what relatives and friends might want by way of presents). Its about a baby in a far […]

After some consideration and thought as to how the clergy can more effectively engage with the parishes within the Stroudwater Team, it has been decided the clergy should be given more specific areas of responsibly. The solution is a system of clusters in the Team where each member of clergy has oversight of 5 parishes […]

On a quiet, calm night 107 years ago, the White Star ocean liner Titanic impacted an iceberg with a glancing blow. What happened next has horrified and fascinated people ever since and it is a story of many “what ifs”. ith hindsight, if just one thing had been different, the outcome could well have been […]

Here we are, already at the end of 2018 – where did it go!?! As we approach the end of this year and approach the start of another, it might be a good time to ask ourselves where we are going? At the time of writing, the country, and particularly the politicians, seem to have […]

The Lych Gate of St Michaels and All Angels – Steve Mills
At some point, we’ve all walked past or through the lych gate (or lytch gate) of our village church, St Michael and All Angels. Many older churches have one of these, usually in the form of a covered entrance to the church grounds – it marks the division between consecrated and unconsecrated ground. In older […]
Knit – or Crochet – for Remembrance
Jack Naylor is organising a big commemorative display in the Church over the remembrance week end.
