Choirs’ Festival 2008 Members of the choir of St Andrew’s, Swavesey, joined with 300 other choristers and musicians from across the Diocese of Ely in the 2008 Choirs’ Festival in Ely Cathedral on Saturday 17th May. Under the title, ‘The King of Love’, a varied programme was sung including the anthems Greater love hath no man by John Ireland and Love divine, all loves excelling by William Lloyd Webber in the presence of the Bishop of Ely.

Confirmation at Milton Four candidates from St Andrew’s, Swavesey, and St Mary’s, Conington, were confirmed by the Bishop of Ely at All Saints’ Church, Milton, on the evening of Trinity Sunday (18th May 2008). The candidates were well supported by their families and other members of their home congregations in what was a very lively confirmation service accompanied by members of the All Saints’ praise band.

St Mary’s, Fen Drayton, Churchyard Working Party 2008 Thank you to everyone who took part in the St Mary’s, Fen Drayton, Churchyard Working Party on 12th April 2008 and to all who contributed to the Gift Day. A great deal of work was done both in clearing away the fast-growing vegetation and also in spring cleaning inside of the church. Thank you to all. Of course, there is no time limit on offering gifts to the Gift Day!
