Farmers' Market

Occurring
Every First Thursday at for 2 hours, 30 mins
Venue
St. Peter's Grandborough
Address
Church Road Grandborough Rugby, CV23 8DH, United Kingdom

We are delighted with the success of our Farmers' Market which started in June 2012. We have 10 regular stallholders selling their fresh produce (freshly baked, home reared or home grown).

There is a real buzz and community spirit at the market and we feel that we have achieved what we wanted to do – bringing the church and the local community together.

A number of customers and stallholders have commented on the friendly atmosphere of the market. However, we have to remember that the stallholders are running a business and it is important that we support them in order for the market to continue being successful.

The Communion Service is the central act of worship for most Christians and in it we draw close to God and give thanks for the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. The focal point of the service is when the priest blesses the bread and wine which represent the body and blood of Jesus and shares them with the members of the congregation. It’s a quiet moment of deep meaning when we can feel God’s presence around us and renew our faith and strength.

First Sunday of each month other that August.

Held at St Peter's Church, Grandborough, this gentle and reflective service acknowledges that loss, loneliness, illness and difficult memories don't disappear just because it's December. There will be quiet music, candles, and prayers of comfort and hope — with no pressure to feel festive.

Everyone is welcome, whatever your circumstances or beliefs. Come as you are; you don't need to explain why you're there. Refreshments will be available afterwards for anyone who would like to stay and talk, though there's no obligation to do so.
