‘Church Yardley Wood is here as a small active church community'
Sunday 5th July, we welcome Claire and Steven as they chose to make a commitment of faith and be baptised into our church family.
Thank you to Doreen and Voices Together Choir for organising a wonderful concert. They raised an amazing £1,295 for our Lych gate restoration appeal.
Mourning Cuppa takes place on Monday 6th July at 10am. Join us out our bereavement group for a cuppa and cake.
Churchyard, we invite all who can volunteer to join us for an hour at 10am on Saturday to help us maintain the churchyard.
We would like to put together a pastoral visiting group that could weekly go out to visit members of our congregation that are unable to get to church. If you would be interested in supporting with this, please see Revd. Lydia.
Please can we kindly request that we do not eat any food in church.
We are hoping to offer a Youth Drop In, in the centre, on Tuesdays in the Summer holidays from 1 – 3pm (note time change). If anyone is able to volunteer to be around for one of those weeks, please speak to Revd Lydia.
Sunday 19th July, I would warmly encourage everyone to gather with us at 4pm at St Patrick’s Salter Street for the induction of our Churchwardens Angella and Doreen. It is good for us all to show our support to them.

Father John Richards
It is with deep sadness that I share with the Yardley Wood community that Father John Richards (beloved vicar of this parish from 1997 - 2013) sadly passed away on
Sunday 3rd May.
We are aware that Father John touched many lives in this parish, and we will miss his sense of humour, kindness and warmth.
May he rest in peace,
and rise in glory.
