Events in the parish this autumn

The church PCC are organising a range of social and community events in the late summer and autumn of this year and this News story will be updated as things take shape.  


 We have already had a successful very well attended parish outing to Nature In Art  in Twigworth on 14th August - there are photos on our Facebook page.  Our Parish Picnic on Bank Holiday Sunday 30th was also enjoyable even though we moved it to the Church Centre because of the very grim weather forecast.   Again, there are photos on the Facebook page. 

The Macmillan Coffee Morning we held from 10:30-12:30 on Saturday 26th September in the Church Centre, organised by the same team who run our popular annual Christian Aid Week coffee mornings, was exceptionally well attended and raised over £500 

The Harvest Festival Bring and Share Lunch  in the Church Centre after our service on Sunday 4th October also had a good turnout and was used to launch the Donation Point for goods for the Lakeside Community Pantry, which is now available inside the main entrance to the church during opening times (usually 0930-1500ish weekdays and all Sunday morning).  

The following day, Monday 5th October, we held an  Experience Harvest interactive event to introduce young people from Year 3 of Greatfield Park Primary Schools to the harvest season.  The same school then held their Harvest Festival Service at our church on the morning of Wednesday 7th October and photos of that are on our and their Facebook pages. 

We will be holding a Craft Fair in the Church Centre on Saturday 14th November - and that is now the main focus of our community planning.  Several stallholders have already signed up. 

Another very much definite event is our annual popular Carols by Candelight event on 20th December, and we are delighted that Bishop Paul has agreed to be our celebrant.  This year it will be open to all ages. 

Many thanks are due to everyone who is helping make these events happen.
