Old shoes wanted!

We are inviting donations of old shoes people are happy to be recycled for the activity at the November family service, where we’ll be thinking of ‘how beautiful are the feet of those who bring Good News’. Odd ones are fine. Please note: we don’t need hundreds of them, so please don’t inundate us!

Events coming up:

Lunchtime concert 12th October:

Thank you to those who came to support the lunchtime concert at St Mary's on Saturday. It was a lovely occasion, despite the low numbers present. We hope that more people will be able to join us on Saturday 12th when the Rib Singers directed by David Ranford will entertain us. Delicious home made soups and bread and cheese lunches available from 12 noon and after the concert. Please spread the word!
