A Birthday party!

Yesterday, we had a Birthday Party! It was Pentecost, the church's birthday. The sun shone and there were lots of smiles as well as a serious message at our combined Pentecost and Family Service. There were balloons, a game of 'Pass the Parcel', chocolates and a Birthday cake! The children had a great time playing Pass the Parcel. Each layer of the wrapping contained the names of the Fruits of the Spirit, reminding us of all the good things that God gives us or wants us to be. The prize was a big box of chocolates which were shared around.

Please note that the visit of David and Dawn Curran from the Church Mission Society (CMS) is now on Sunday, 25th May and not 18th May.

If you were hoping to attend the Workshop for Coloured Pencil Beginners on Saturday 24th May, the deadline was on Saturday, 10th May. You might still get in if you call Robin Borrett immediately on 01509 820715 or via email to robin.borrett@ntlworld.com.

If you would like to know more of what's happening at St Mary's and be part of it, come and see us on the Open Day on Wednesday, May 21st. See in our Church magazine, Compass or just follow the blog. There will be regular updates each week.
