    Churches Together Shaftesbury Pentecost Service will be held at Shaftesbury Abbey on Sunday 23rd May at 4pm.
    Because of Covid-19 restrictions there will be no wet weather alternative. Everyone is asked to please respect Covid-19 guidance and also bring their own chairs. The service is suitable for ALL ages (children will be especially welcome but there is uneven ground for older people to be aware of). We look forward to joining together!
