Evening Gathering Bring and Share Supper / Table TalkSunday 18 September 6.30pm to 8.30pm (events meant we extended the evening)This evening's get together was a good chance to catch up and chat, especially after all the events of the recent week which have been rather heavy. We started with a chance to chat then sing; Barbara shared one of 'Granfer's Bible stories in good old Devon dialect, and she and Val treated us to a humorous sketch followed by a thoughtful session with questions prompting discussion – followed by a bring and share supper. We held the one minutes silence in honour of Queen Elizabeth II at 8.00pm. After clearing up the crockery another session of singing took place, very light hearted. We finished with The Lost Words sung blessing and The Lord's my Shepherd. The next evening will be on Sunday October 18th, 6.30pm in Woolsery Chapel. All are welcome. (the photo with the empty chairs was when everyone moved for food!)This meet up is for all faiths; no faiths and those in between. Most sessions will be the second Sunday of the month but may be adjusted to fit in with other events. Keep an eye out for up-to-date details.

Woolsery Show 2022 (120th in its history) was a very successful day – the weather turned out to be on our side and after the initial wet was a bright cloudy day, and the ground dried out which made things easier. We followed the rota and were kept busy with a constant request for tea / coffee / squash and biscuits – with a result of £270.20 being collected by donations – giving £135.10 to each church. The colouring session was organised by Woolsery Youth Club who also provided the colouring sheets, colouring pens and lollipops as a thank-you when completed, which were well received. The hand prints for Youth Christian network climate conference were supplied and completed at the event and are being posted off to be added to others being put on display. The clear sides gave good cover and was so much more open than previous years, and the tent itself was much larger – thank you to who ever organised its setting up and layout, resulting in a good view of the arena. We wish to thank everyone who either provided refreshments or joined the rota (sorry will not list names for fear of omitting someone) and to all who came and supported us, the Churches are always there for you and it was good to meet up.
