Harvest Thanksgiving A joint Harvest Festival Service took place on Sunday 28th September at Acton Trussell, Bednall and Teddesley Hay Community Centre. The Village Singers joined the congregation. Tony Guest, a Cannock and District Food Bank Co-ordinator gave an update on how the food bank is developing in the area. After the service, a light lunch was served. Items of food were donated and a collection of £225 was raised towards the Food Bank.Thanks go to everyone who helped make this a happy event.
Ride and Stride- it was a lovely day on Saturday morning for Ride and Stride but got rather rainy later on! Well done to all the cyclists who got involved, especially our loyal local supporters. Both St James and All Saints welcomed the Ride and Striders and some visitors and offered much needed refreshments- thanks to everyone who helped with refreshments and opened the churches to our visitors.
A big thanks to all who attended and who helped in any way at the Messy Church Picnic on the Beach session at St James’ Church, Acton Trussell on 8th August. The sun shone and we had a happy time with our ‘beach’ themed and fishy story and activities. After the parachute games we shared a lovely picnic round the ‘campfire’ in the churchyard and those who attended left looking forward to the next Messy Church session.By the way please save the date for the Christingle at St James, Acton Trussell on 24th December at 2pm.
