Double Edition of the Pew Sheet – June 21st/28th
Please note that there will be a double edition of the pew sheet to cover the above two weeks so space may be limited and some notices may need to be submitted sooner than usual.

New Musical Setting for St. Dunstan’s
Starting on June 14th we will be using the Trinity Mass Setting composed by David Thorne for the Parish Eucharist. It is widely used across the Oxford Diocese, is relatively easy to learn, and has great joy and musical depth. Parts of the mass setting have already been sung at the Nine Lessons and Carols Service as well as during Communion at the Parish Eucharist. We will have a ‘rehearsal’ for those can come at 9.40 am on Sunday June 14th. For those who have internet access the setting can be listened to on http://www.culvermusic.com/trinity-mass.html James

The Friendship Group
We meet in the church hall on the third Wednesday of the month at 2.30 pm. The next meeting is Wednesday 17th June. All welcome!

Churchyard Working Party, Saturday June 20th
Starting at 9.30am and finishing by 12 noon please come along for an enjoyable and sociable time working in the churchyard. There is a job for everyone with weeding, sawing, pruning, lopping etc. all needing to be done. Please bring along your own tools. James


Children’s Coffee Charity Event, Sunday June 21st
Martha Alexander and Fern Robbins, two local year 5 girls at Pipers Corner School will be participating in the ‘fiver challenge’ this June, which involves undertaking an initiative within the community to raise money for charity. The girls will be selling homemade fruitcake after 10 am church on Sunday 21st June in order to raise funds in support of Help For Heroes Charity (# 1120920)

Concert and Afternoon Tea: The Chandos Ensemble
On Sunday July 12th at 3.30pm there will be a concert of popular music for string orchestra including: Elgar Serenade for Strings, Albinoni Oboe Concerto in D minor and Handel Concerto Grosso Op.6 conducted by Patrick Garrett and leader Marion Garrett. This will be followed by afternoon tea and a raffle (please bring a chair with you if you’d like to sit outside). Tickets are £8/adult and £2/accompanied child available from Pat Kimber 01844 273942 or the Elephant’s Trunk, Duke Street, Princes Risborough

Trips to Westminster Abbey and Canterbury
These trips are now fully booked but I will be creating a reserve list as some people may drop out. Details of the trips can be found in the parish newsletter. If you have not yet paid for your trip, please can you do so as soon as possible. James

Ideas for the South Aisle
You’ll notice that the altar has been removed from underneath the St. Cecilia window. This has created some space and highlighted the two lovely brasses there. The space will be used by Bucks Open Studios in June and also by musicians when we have concerts. It may be appropriate to install a servery there sympathetic to the rest of the church which doesn’t take up much space. It may be best to leave the space empty to give greater flexibility for hosting events and special services, or you may have some ideas yourself. Any thoughts gratefully received. James
