One of our core values is responding to need. St Giles PCC recently voted unanimously to come to the aid of Codicote Foodbank and offer to host them when their present premises are no longer available.The foodbank will operate from St Giles Parish Centre on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:30pm, starting on Wednesday 8th April. This will be for a trial period of 6 months.
St Giles Cafe Church runs on the first Sunday of the Month from 10am in the Peace Memorial Hall. It is relaxed and lots of fun for all ages. Alongside the delicious pastries and freshly brewed tea and coffee there are usually craft activities, video clips, singing, a brief talk on the theme of the day and a simple prayer activity.If you find the morning time difficult, you will be pleased to know that we are adding three more Cafe Church slots this year on a Sunday afternoon at 4pm.The first Café Church Extra is on Sunday 15th February at 4pm on the theme FLIPPIN’ LENT. Expect lots of fun, pancakes to eat AND a pancake race! All are welcome – come and join us.
