Exciting news! We are re-launching our Sunday Club!
After our prolonged break, initially due to the pandemic, we have decided we would like to re-start our Sunday Club. Our sessions will be aimed mainly at 4-10 year olds.
Marian and Ann will be running it to begin with – you can come along and meet us at our Family Crafts Afternoon on Saturday 14th December (details elsewhere in this magazine) if you don’t already know us. We both have DBS clearance and safeguarding training and have both worked previously in nurseries and primary school settings.
We will meet on the last Sunday of each month, starting in January (26th), during the 9.45am service. We start in church, leaving during the first hymn to go over to Church House for a Bible story and related crafts and activities, leaving parents to be able to focus on the service without their usual distractions! We will bring the children back to church in time to join their families for Holy Communion.
Wednesday afternoon teas are a popular feature of our social calendar.
They are on the 1st, 3rd & 5th Wednesdays of each month, 2.30pm – 3.30pm.
Come and enjoy a pot of tea and a selection of delicious homemade cakes on the 1st, 3rd & 5th Wednesday afternoons of each month from 2.30-3.30pm in Church House, Bodicote (adjacent to the church). There is usually an informal table quiz and always a chance to meet and chat to friends, long established and new. All are welcome. Donations are requested to cover costs.
A friendly group who meet on the first Saturday of each month (except in January and February) from 9am - 11am to keep our churchyard tidy.
New helpers always welcome, even if you can only spare half an hour!
Please bring along gardening tools.
Refreshments are usually provided on a "bring and share" basis.
Another concert with Anjuli Mehta-Browne - a programme of opera, song and musical theatre exploring the aspects of love in all its forms.

In this talk we will hear about the history and operations of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (the CWGC) which commemorates, at more than 23,000 locations in over 150 countries and territories, the 1.7 million fallen from Britain and the Commonwealth from the First and Second World Wars. Our speaker, Mike Chapman, has also promised to weave into his presentation the stories of some of the casualties from those two conflicts who were local to this area.
There will be no charge for this talk but donations for the work of the CWGC would be much appreciated.
Refreshments will be served.
We are involving some of our local community groups in our fete on Saturday 17th May from 1-4pm in the church, church grounds and Church House. The bellringers are opening the tower from 2pm for an introduction to bellringing and there will be various stalls, raffle, refreshments and BBQ as well as stalls run by various other organisations.
The treasure hunt will be mainly based in the church and churchyard.
