On Saturday 16th November, here at All Saints, Sapcote, we hosted the Tear Fund Big Quiz Night. Tear Fund were aiming for this quiz to be hosted in as many places as possible at the same time on the same night around the country. Many of you will have heard of this Christian charity who help those living in poverty around the world. We had a great evening! 42 people attended forming 8 quiz teams of all ages ( ranging from 6 years to quite a lot of years more than that!). We started off with a hearty meal of jacket potatoes and fillings, followed later by cakes and fruit. . No charge was made , but donations were given to Tear Fund and nearly £220 was raised.It was a wonderful time of fun and very friendly competition and all teams gave a very good performance. The winning team went home with a large tub of chocolates to share to celebrate their success. We look forward to the Big Quiz of 2020 when we hope you will come and join us. Start preparing now!!
Early in September, St Helen's Sharnford hosted a wonderful service led by Bishop Richard. Four candidates - Andy, Claudia, Joshua & Natasha - from our benefice were confirmed, one of whom was also baptised, by Bishop Richard. He declared this an enormous day when the four said 'Yes' to God and God said 'Yes' to them. In addition to that Bishop Richard formally enrolled Matt from our benefice into the Church of England.The atmosphere was a truly joyous one and each candidate was well supported by family and friends.The occasion concluded with a splendid buffet.
