    MINSTEAD COMMUNITY SHOP

    178 people responded to the recent survey of whom 126 said they would use a Community Shop regularly, 47 occasionally and 5 not at all.  There were lots of interesting suggestions and encouraging offers of help in various ways.  We believe this represents more than sufficient support for a community Steering Group to be set up to consider the various options and establish a way ahead and we are contacting all those who volunteered.  It is hoped that such a Group will form up in the next few weeks and that once it is established there will be further consultation with the village Community.

    ALL SAINTS CHURCH

    Our new Priest-in-Charge, The Reverend David Potterton was licensed to the Benefice of the Parishes of Lyndhurst and Emery Down and Minstead on August 21st in a joyful service taken by The Right Reverend Jonathan Frost, Bishop of Southampton.  St Michael and All Angels’ church in Lyndhurst was packed and its bells rang out.  Ahead of the licensing service, Revd. David took part in short services at the two other parish churches in the benefice: All Saints’ Church, Minstead and Christ Church, Emery Down. The Bishop of Southampton led these services, which included a joyous African chant, and presented Revd. Potterton with the keys to each church.

    ALL SAINTS’ CHURCH MINSTEAD TOWER FUND APPEAL

    As you may be aware our much loved Church is in need of funds to keep this beautiful building in good repair.

    Do you have any unwanted possessions, in reasonable condition, that you are willing to donate to the Tower Fund Appeal?  If so a trusted member of your Church/Community will visit you with formal identification and you will be asked to give written confirmation of your gift.
