Full Festival Programme

Coming of Age Liturgy
11am Saturday 26th July 2008. Celebrating Mary and Martha's 21st birthday.
Do join us - a big occasion for all ages, and whatever your connection with Sheldon. We'd love to see you!
Wear really colourful clothing. Bring improvised percussion - saucepan lid and wooden spoon or whatever you can find - you will surely want to join in with Street Heat samba band leading the procession.

Street Heat Samba band at Sheldon in July 2007. Colourful. Noisy. Energetic. Fun.
21 prayers of thanksgiving and blessing at different places around the Sheldon site
(shorter route for disabled guests)
At 12noon we will be firing a 21 gun salute. You'll normally only hear a salute like this for the Queen, but this one is a massive thank you to the King of Kings! Real vintage field guns and cannons fired with black powder by Colin Herriet of the Star Gun Company.
You probably haven't been to any service quite like this before.
There will be a thanksgiving collection for 21 years of Mary and Martha.
Please give generously.
The service is followed by a simple lunch for all to share.
