After Sunday Mass - there is tea and coffee in the hall, please stay if you can, especially if you are new to the church. We would love to say hello to you.

Sick & departed list - On the kneeler, in front of the Trinity Altar. The list is on the altar (wherever that day the Mass is offered) during the week; feel free to add names to it at any time.

Rosary in Abbotsbury - The Revd Andrew Rawding, Rector of the Bride Valley and Chesil group of churches, has asked St Paul’s help to start a monthly Rosary Group in his benefice. The first meeting will be this coming Wednesday at 2pm. This is an important initiative for a number of reasons and Fr Gregory hopes a good number of people will join him and support this. St Paul’s participation would be essential for a few month to give life to this new Rosary Group until they are happy to pray and lead the Rosary on their own.

Fleet - A simple Evening Prayer with hymns this Sunday, the 26th (in the Old Church), followed by refreshments.

Summer Fete - Saturday 8 August 2026 11-1pm - Just under 2 weeks to go. Thank you for all your donations for the stalls and Grand Draw and offers of help to run the stalls. Cakes and homemade produce are needed. Please let Sharon Waight or Sue Biles know if you are bringing in cakes/produce or if you want to know what they would like. We have found ‘hook a duck’ and ‘hoop a frog’ games for the children. It would be lovely to have these games but we need a few more people to run them. We will also need help on the Friday afternoon to set up all the stalls, table and chairs, so please keep that free if you can help.

World Cup Sweepstake - The winners will receive their prizes during coffee after Mass and the names will be on the board.

Parish Magazine - The August issue is now available in the parish hall.

Cell meetings - there will be none in August and September (Walsingham pilgrimage); the next cell meeting will be in October.
