A big thank you to everyone who braved the snow to get to our Nativity (from scratch) and Carols service. It was great to see so many of you.
Here are a couple of photo's we took. Please click on them for a larger view.

Have a great Christmas !

Shoebox Appeal Service
Jenni Nash, one of our Neighbourhood wardens advertised within Sovereign Housing, and involved the local Pupil Referral Unit, Holybrook Youth Club and Beansheaf Pre-school to bring 35 filled shoeboxes.
In addition to dozens of boxes from local families, Hall Place Equestrian Centre, Tilehurst Parish Council, Cornwell 0-5’s group and Adam & Eve hairdressers contributed; even before our
Shoebox service we had 107 boxes! At the Shoebox service it was good to see new faces and the wall of Shoeboxes grew; the final total was 160. At the end of the service many young helpers
carried the boxes out to the cars to be taken to St Catherine's where they joined the Shoeboxes collected by St Catherine's ready for collection by the Samaritan's Purse van.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to a record year!

Cornwell events
Cornwell Harvest Festival - Sunday 26th September
11am with refreshments as usual from 10.30am, we’re collecting tinned food (there’s a list at church of needs but if in doubt tinned meats are always needed) for the Drop-in-Centre. Please stay on after the service for a Harvest lunch of Soup and rolls at around 12.15pm. It’s ‘Back to Church Sunday’ so a good service to come to and bring a friend.
Alpha - Places available
We’re hosting an Alpha course on Thursday evenings beginning 30th September. If you’d like to join us and better still bring a friend, or for more information email alpha@cornwellcommunitychurch.org.uk
Afternoon walk - Saturday 23rd October
Many of us who live in Tilehurst haven’t explored south of the A4. Linear Park has ‘Green Flag’ status (the scheme recognises and rewards the best green spaces in the country) so let’s explore it!
Meet 2.30pm in the Beansheaf Community Centre Car Park (off Charrington Road, Calcot, RG31 7AW) to explore the Park, bring drinks and snacks and we’ll aim to finish around 4pm.
