THE Salvation Army Basingstoke Corps has a visit over this weekend from the L'Islet Songster Brigade from Guernsey.

They will be giving a concert on Saturday, at 7.30pm, supported by the Basingstoke Corps Band, and will be leading worship on Sunday, at 10.30am and 3.30pm.

A warm welcome is extended to everyone to come and enjoy these events. There will be a collection, but no charge for the concert.

THE puppet ministry team at Christ Church, Chineham, is looking for new members.

If you are over eight years old and are interested in finding out more, contact Liz Foster on 01256 880455.

AT ST Mary the Virgin, Silchester, there will be a sung communion on Trinity Sunday, May 18, at 10am, and a sung evensong at 6pm.

THE Diocesan Day of Prayer for Hartley Wintney, Elvetham, Winchfield and Dogmersfield will be held on Saturday, May 24, at St Mary's, Winchfield, which will be open all day for prayers.

THE Whitchurch Deanery is organising a bike ride on Saturday, May 24, to raise money for Mityana, in Uganda, with which the deanery has a link.

The plan is to ride around Whitchurch Deanery, clocking in at as many churches as riders can or want to. There are 24 churches in all, so there will be plenty of choice.

For more details, contact your clergy, or Dodie Marsden, at St Mary Bourne, on 01264 738211.

AS THE summer gets nearer, I am sure there are lots of fundraising events you would like me to mention in this column.

I can be contacted on 01256 475380, by post to 16 Brocas Drive, Basingstoke, RG21 5LT, or via e-mail to blairman@ntlworld.com
