Our Eco Service on the theme ‘Water for Life’ took place in the garden under the oak tree in much appreciated shade, and included a brief wander round the very dry nature reserve (though with its new pond) to think about the signs of water (or lack of it). How fortunate we are to have such a good place to worship.

Our second Summer tea event took place on one of the hottest days. Visitors were able to find shade to enjoy sitting in the peaceful garden and to visit our new pond in the nature reserve. There was a good selection of tea and cakes to enjoy too! It was a happy occasion for us all. The last Summer Tea this summer is on August 20th.

The service on Sunday 3rd July was led by member of Junior Church with Tom Chatfield providing the music during and after the service.  It was a very powerful service based on the situation in Ukraine and gave the congregation a lot to think about.  The sermon slot was a sketch written by the young people about a dream two Ukrainian sisters had where President Putin was asked to stop the war.  He said he would think about it – and then they woke up!  We are very grateful to the young people for all the hard work they put into the service. 

We are delighted to share details of our Friends and Family Fun event on Sunday 15th May. From 12.00 noon to 2pm we will be holding a church community event which will include lunch and cake. There will be activities for all ages including a Rhythm and Sound session with Geoff Tanner and ‘Arty and Crafty’ with Anthony Shipwright.

It was wonderful to see so many families at the Fun Afternoon. A buffet lunch was enjoyed by all and the children then enjoyed fun activities whilst the adults chatted over tea and cake.
