Officiant Rev Jenny Ablett
Totally informal drop-in for a cup of tea/coffee and somewhere to be warm and have a chat rather than sit at home. You can stay all morning or just drop in when out for a walk or a drive or just tending a loved one's grave. Dogs are very welcome if under control. An ideal opportunity to peruse the fascinating volumes of photos and history of Barham Church produced by the Church Recorders or the plans for the nearby Barham Meadows housing development . You can also peruse a branch of the Bacon Road Little Library which is hosted at the west end of the Church. This is a free library although for those who wish there is an opportunity to make a donation towards the work of the local Stowmarket and District Foodbank.
THERE WILL BE NO DROP-IN ON GOOD FRIDAY OR WHEN CHRISTMAS DAY/BOXING DAY FALLS ON A FRIDAY
