​Our Summer Fair, 29th July

Although we weren’t as busy as previous years, and because of threatening rain had to hold the fair inside the church, we had a fabulous time and the atmosphere was really lovely.  The singing entertainment was brilliant as usual and we had a singalong session at the end as well, before the raffle was drawn.   A huge thank you to the organisers and to everyone who managed a stall as well as the refreshment team, not forgetting all those who stayed behind to help tidy everything away.  
The Dog Show was outside of course and was huge fun.  Thanks to The Pet Store for organising this again.  




​The Coronation Tea Party.  Monday 8th May 

Prayer and a Pint.  Sunday 7th May 

Wydale Away-day. 29th April 

We had fantastic Parish Away Day at Wydale Hall on Saturday 29th April. 38 of us spent a lovely day there. We started the day with a quiet worship and prayer and sang “Be Still for the presence of the Lord” We had talks on The Holy Land and Praying with Icons. We had the opportunity to take part in a Guided Visualisation. Other activities included art and crafts, walks in the woods, gardens, putting, music and time for reflection.  Lunch and refreshment breaks enabled us to just chat and have fellowship together. 

Our end of day worship was much more vibrant, with ribbon waving and singing “You shall go out with Joy”.  

Thanks to all who came, helped and shared the day with us.

Bonfire Social evening, Saturday 12th November 

We had a really lovely evening, and the Vicarage garden was packed with lots of children - new faces as well as regular churchgoers.  There was a lovely atmosphere of friendship and outreach and everyone said they’d thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  We had several very generous donations towards the cost of the food, with some left over to go towards the upkeep of the church.  A huge thank you to those who came along and supported this event, to the ladies who cooked and baked, and to the Vicar, Rev. Gareth Atha for the use of the garden.  

Harvest lunch. Sunday 9th October 

Summer Fair, 13th August

A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who helped at our Annual Summer Fair, who donated items to be sold or for the raffle, baked or made things to sell, it was lovely to see our stalls full of produce.  Thank you to those of you who did venture out to support us - we hope you had a lovely time.  The extremely high temperature did keep some folk away, and sadly the Dog Show had to be cancelled for safety reasons.  Despite these challenges, we still had a wonderful day and raised a brilliant total  towards Church Funds. (Will be announced on Sunday)

​Strawberry Summer Soiree

We had a lovely Saturday evening for our soiree on July 16th.  Although numbers were down from the last one, we still had a lovely evening enjoying a glass (or three) of Pimms, strawberry cream scones, cheese scones, smoked mackerel blinis, Victoria sponge, nibbles, and of course the chocolate fountain to dip marshmallows and strawberries into.  A big thank you to everyone who came along and supported us, as well as to the ladies who baked, served and cleared up after us.


​Royal Jubilee Tea

We had a fabulous afternoon at our Royal Jubilee Tea in Church on Friday 3rd June.  It was lovely to see so many new faces and visitors to the church, as well as our familiar supporters.  We served a great selection of cakes, as well as scones with cream and jam and we were kept very busy!   Although it was a free event, with donations very gratefully received, we raised £170 towards church funds.  A HUGE thank you to everyone who came a long and supported us, and to the ladies who baked, served and washed up.  



​Monday Morning Coffee

Coffee, tea, scones and cake are available in Church every Monday morning to coincide with the town’s weekly market, from Easter to December. This is a great way to catch up with friends, new and old, over a scone and a hot drink, and all for a very reasonable price!  Why not come along and see what our 'cake of the week' is, and enjoy a slice or a scone.  (Gluten free is available too!)​

​Shrove Tuesday Pancakes in Church, 1st March, 2022

Our Pancake Morning was very well attended.  Thanks to all who came and helped us raise a fabulous £150, just from generous donations.   

Christmas Coffee Morning, 4th December 2021

HUGE, HUGE thanks to everyone who helped by baking, setting up & putting away, making teas & coffees and washing up, clearing tables, and working on the stalls, to the choir who sang so beautifully, accompanied on the organ by Steve, to Bob our fabulous guitar soloist, and of course to everyone who came along and helped to make it a success.  We raised an incredible £1460.61


​Bonfire Social evening. Friday 5th November

We had a fabulous Bonfire Social evening, with familiar and lots of new faces. Everyone enjoyed cheesy baked potatoes, pumpkin and roasted onion soup and tasty sweet treats. There were sparklers and s’mores around the wood burner and lots of laughter and chat.
Thank you to everyone who came along and supported it; although it isn’t a fundraising event, we raised £140 in donations!


​Cake stall in town, 28th August

We had a great kick-start to our fundraising efforts in town, raising funds to buy a new fridge for church and some new oil cloth table covers for coffee mornings, to improve our future fundraising events.
A huge thank you to everyone who baked and brought things for us to sell. At the moment, the total currently stands at £610 with donations still coming in!
