Four Invitations

This is an annual event and sponsorship money raised is shared between the Berkshire Churches Trust and your own church. You can take part by manning a checkpoint at St Catherine’s or the Cornwell Centre for an hour (speak to Richard Canning 0118 942 8238), Walking/Cycling around as many churches as you can (I have sponsorship forms – please contact me) or sponsoring someone to do either of these.
2. ‘Grand Day out’ Oxford - Saturday 20th September
The Bishop of Oxford’s farewell ‘do’ events on all day, picnic on Christ Church Meadow and closing service there. See http://www.oxford.anglican.org/mission-ministry/projects/imagining-faith-grand-day/ you do need to book via this link, Evelyn and I are going, let’s arrange to share lifts – let me know if you’re going and I’ll co-ordinate them.
3. Thames Pilgrimage walk - Wednesday 24th September
The Bishop of Oxford is launching the ‘Thames Pilgrim Way’ inviting people to join him along the way. One stage is from Moulsford to Tilehurst, 11 miles, and a number of us are going. If you would like to join us please let me know as numbers have to be in now. See http://www.oxford.anglican.org/oh-happy-band-pilgrims/
4. Sponsored walk Marlow-Reading - Saturday 4th October
Last year some of us did a sponsored walk from Newbury to Reading; this time we’re approaching from the East and via the Thames instead of the Kennet & Avon Canal. Again we’re raising money for the ‘Send-a-Cow’ charity but this time to buy educational supplies to enable children in Africa to get an education. The distance is 18 miles and we’ll organise lifts to the start. Please let me know if you’d like to take part. See http://www.sendacowgifts.org.uk/educate-a-child

Mega Makers Holiday Club Video
If you missed the fun, here's the video of this years Holiday Club. Please click below to watch.
Mega Makers Unveiling Ceremony
Please bring your whole family for a celebration with songs, stories and games.
Mega Makers Holiday Club
Are you ready for this years Holiday Club ?
It’s called Mega Makers and it takes place August 11th to 15th from 10am to 12 noon, with an opening service on Sunday 10th at 10:30am. It’s for children at infants or primary school (5 to 11 year olds).
The focal point of this club is exploring the world of inventions through the Mega Machine which has been invented by Professor Ian Ventor and his apprentice May Kamess. This machine has the ability to enlarge anything that is placed inside it, and after the final testing at the club will be released onto an unsuspecting world.
The Mega Machine demonstrates the concept of things getting bigger and bigger which parallels the theme of Mega Makers! that the more we discover about God, the vaster his love for us may seem.
Everyone who’s been before will get an invitation as will children who attend Cool Club or GLuG. If you know of other children who’d like to come, get invitation forms from St Catherine’s & Cornwell Churches or email us.
Messy Church Together - Sunday 29th July

Unlike many other Fathers' Day activities, there’s no need to book a table & it’s free !
Also : Whose dad is the best baker ? (ask about the set competition recipe)
