Services & Notices

Fairacres
It comes as a bit of a surprise for quite a few people when they realise that the Church of England has nuns and monks living in communities up and down the country. I grew up around the corner from the Cowley Fathers in East Oxford and as many of you know been...
Silence
It may surprise some of our avid readers to know that one of the Vicar’s favourite authors is Shusaku Endo. He died in 1996 and is widely acclaimed as one of Japans greatest writers. In my opinion his novel, “Silence”, is a work of genius. Martin Scorsese, the...
Owzat!
Many of us will know that Kathleen Brooks is a dab hand at keeping the score card in cricket. I guess that it has enabled her to keep a watchful eye on her two boys, Russell and Clive, as they have played as flannelled fools, as indeed did their Father, Neville,...
The Feast of the Epiphany
Joy and gratitude surround the birth of Jesus. The angels sang songs of joy to the shepherds as they kept watch over their flocks. The Blessed Virgin sang in praise of God at the Annunciation. Her cousin Elizabeth embraced her with gladness when she visited her and...
Save Christmas?
Over the past nine months or so I have had to try and make sense of some pretty bizarre statements via the realm of 24 hour “news” and social media platforms, from whose respective clutches, I have thankfully been able to liberate myself! I have also, in my humble...
Remembrance 2020
A Message from The Vicar for Remembrance I am seldom lost for words. I am extremely grateful to Nick Snape, our Church photographer, who has provided images of how the Church is now dressed and ready for Remembrance Sunday. A big thank you to Margaret Garlick and Pat...

Neville Foote Memorial
The dedication of the memorial acknowledging the life of Neville Foote and all Veterans of this parish up to current times took place on 2nd October. It is lodged on the south side of Church. It is made from Balmoral granite and incorporates in porcelain...

The Vicar's Crystal Ball
I am very happy to respond to any pastoral inquiry, however please do not assume that “the Vicar will know!” Text or email me and I will always do what I can to help.
Every Blessing, The Vicar
Safeguarding at St Annes' Church Tottington
The care and protection of children, young people and adults involved in Church activities is the responsibility of everyone who participates in the life of our Church.
Our Risk Assessment for Funerals
Everyone is welcome
Do come and join us at our Sunday meeting at 10.15am, and pop in afterwards for a cuppa and a chat in the parish hall.

Prayer
O God our maker, whose Son Jesus Christ gave to your servant Bede grace to drink in with joy the word that leads us to know you and love you: in your goodness grant that we also may come at length to you, the source of all wisdom, and stand before your face; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
