On Sunday Bishop Alastair presided and preached as we celebrated our dedication festival (sort of the church's birthday) and then on Tuesday he visited our wonderful St Bartholomew's school.(photo is Bishop Alastair with Rev'd Jim and Mthr Bethany following school collective worship.)
THANK YOU to everyone who supported our recent Harvest festival. We delivered 244.6 Kg of goods to Lewisham Foodbank, which was greatly appreciated.NOT JUST FOR HARVEST!We collect food items (tins & packets), basic toiletries and hygiene items throughout the year. Some of these we pass on to people who come to us looking for help. The rest we pass on to the Foodbank. Items may be donated whenever the church is open and at our regular services.(Non-perishable food and toiletries only please – no household items or clothing; these are best donated to Lewisham Hub)
