Breakfast Service – ASCEND

On Sunday we had inspirational Breakfast Service where we heard several moving stories of how ASCEND have changed people’s lives. We shared our prayers for ASCEND’s work on this prayer tree.

If you would like to find out more about ASCEND, why not go along to their Black History Day this Thursday from 11 till 3.

1940s Evening

1940s Evening

We had a fantastic 1940s themed evening last Friday. Several of us dressed up and the church hall was bedecked with Union Flags. We enjoyed period food and all joined in with a uplifting sing along. Everyone had an enjoyable time and we raised over £200 for our Missions. Thank you to everyone who made the evening a success and all those who came and supported the event.

Confirmations 2013

This evening we gave a warm welcome to Bishop Alan who came to preside at All Saints’ for our Confirmation Service. Congratulations to the newly confirmed from our congregation, Beverley, Kay and Joy as well as Tom who joined us from Soul Survivor. Please keep them in your prayers as they continue their journey of faith, which as Bishop Alan reminded us, doesn’t stop at the confirmation service.

Alison’s last service

Alison's last service

Alison’s last service as our curate before moving on to her new ministry in Melksham. Alison taught us the secret of her lemon drizzle cake recipe and then we gave her and Derek a great send off with a bring and share lunch.

Many thanks to all those who are buying my Marmalade. I donate all the money I receive to our Mission Fund.

I have recently made some Lemon Marmalade and a small quantity of Shredless Seville Orange Marmalade.
