Once again Pershore Foodbank plan to give Christmas Hampers and Children's chocolate bags to people in Pershore and the surrounding villages who for whatever reason find themselves in difficulties.As in previous years we plan to start giving these out from the beginning of December. We have a lovely team of volunteers who are primed to help make up hampers in late November. I know it seems an odd request but could you encourage your churches/schools to have your, no doubt generous donations, by the middle of December at the latest otherwise our volunteer team simply struggle to cope. They have requested the following items:Christmas Cakes, Biscuits, Sweets and Chocolates, Tinned Ham & Salmon, Christmas puddings, Chocolate money, Tinned Custard, Mince Pies and any other Christmas treats that may be donated.We have a box in our porch into which you can place your donations. this is emptied regularly and taken to the foodbank.Thank you as always for your generosity.
We had a wonderful weekend celebrating Harvest. On Saturday 14th September, some 35 folk joined together in fellowship as we created a marvellous 'I am the Bread of Life' banner and decorated the window sills with produce and vines, we then all sat down and enjoyed a Ploughmans supper before the very talented Michael Papworth led the calling for a fun barn dance. On Sunday we gave thanks in our traditional Harvest Thanksgiving service during which offerings were made which will be taken to MAGGS and Pershore Foodbank.Thank you to everyone who came along to support and join in.
We are delighted to announce that our first ever Summer Fete and coffee morning raised £400! We had a plethora of delicious homemade cake and scones which were served with tea or coffee. Tables and chairs were set up inside the church where folk could sit and relax and catch up with each other. Face painting, games and craft were also provided.Our photography competition was on display - the winning entry from Roger Hales.Outside in the church grounds, we held a great tombola, a raffle and had a variety of nearly new toys, games, books and clothing.A great many villagers braved the rain and walked up to the church to join in the fun. thank you to everyone that supported us and we look forward to welcoming you again at our next event.............
