Bishop Isaac Dhieu Ater is the assistant Bishop of Yambio, our link diocese in Sudan, and he and his wife are visiting Wimborne Deanery in early July, coinciding his trip with the Lambeth Conference which he will attend. Whilst in Dorset he will spend time visiting as many parishes in the Deanery as he can and we are entertaining him on Saturday 5th July.
It seems therefore to be an unmissable opportunity to hold a 'Tea in the Garden' that afternoon to which he and his wife can be invited and this will be at Dorothy and Garnet's house at The Brook in Canford Magna starting at 3.30 pm. It would be lovely to see as many of the congregation there as possible – hopefully to enjoy the tea and the garden as well as the Bishop and his wife - so please make a diary note now for 5th July and look out for further details in the pew sheets.
You may also like to note that on the following day there will be a special Deanery Evensong at Wimborne Minster to celebrate the Bishop's visit.
