Sunday 19th May, 3.30pm for 4.00pm: Afternoon Tea and Hymns Our next ‘Tea-pot’, in place of an evening service, will be on Sunday 19th June. As before, we hope that people will arrive in the hall from 3.30pm onwards ready for a formal start at 4pm. There will be tables of six, and we will serve afternoon tea with sandwiches, cakes and tea. At about a quarter to five, we shall give out hymn books and sing some favourite hymns. Between hymns there will be a bible reading and perhaps a short talk about it, and later a time of prayer, and we will finish with the Grace at about 5.30pm. We hope overall to sing (parts of) perhaps nine or ten hymns. Do come along and enjoy a time of relaxed fellowship and worship!

Fridays, 9.00am – 12.00 noon: Dorchester Country Market Dorchester Country Market is re-opening! With the Corn Exchange still closed for renovation, the market will now take place every Friday morning from 9am until 12noon in the Main Hall at The United Church – please enter via the Charles Street Entrance at the rear of the building, opposite the Library. Although its been a long wait, we are delighted to be hosting the Country Market: as their Facebook page said when the new location was first agreed, it was the location for the Market in the past, is perfectly located, and is big enough to allow for Covid safe trading. Do come along for home made baked goods, preserves, plants and a huge range of crafts – all sold by the makers and producers at our local market.
