Here's just some of the 108 shoeboxes we had at our service yesterday.
Thanks to everyone who contributed for showing God's love in action.
Operation Christmas Child - 108 shoeboxes
Here's just some of the 108 shoeboxes we had at our service yesterday.
Sunday 20th - Shoebox Sunday
Don't forget - this coming Sunday is shoebox sunday. Bring your boxes filled with gifts ready to send to those to children around the world. And bring your friends and their shoe-boxes as well. The service should last about 45 minutes.
Litter Pick - Saturday 26th November
We've booked the Neighbourhood Wardens to help us with our half-yearly community litter pick; it’ll be Saturday 26th November 10am -12noon.
There’ll be flyers to distribute nearer the time.
Harvest Service - 2nd October
The Harvest Service take place on Sunday 2nd October at Cornwell.
Along with St Catherine's, we will be donating the gifts from these Services to the Drop in Centre. They are asking for tins of meat, vegetables, soup, custard and sauces, breakfast cereals, spreads, kitchen towels, floor cleaning liquid, shaving foam, sanitizing gel and hand wash! They have told us they have plenty of pasta.
At Cornwell we’re aiming for a family-friendly, fun and informative harvest service followed by a simple bread/cheese/ soup lunch (provided) and bring-and-share puddings (which you're invited to bring so that they can be shared!)

Holiday Club Special Service on Sunday 21st
May we remind you that this Sunday (21st) there will be no service at Cornwell, because there will be a joint Mission Rescue service at St Catherine's, starting at 10.30.
We hope you can join us!
Mission Rescue
We'd love to see you all - but especially Leaders and Helpers - at the set up tea, which is at St Catherine's Church Hall from 2pm on Sunday 14th.
Social event Sunday 10th July - Thatcham Nature Discovery Centre
It may appear that we've had our summer already, but we hope it will be back in time for our proposed "social" - a trip to the Nature Discovery Centre at Thatcham on Sunday 10th July. Please see http://www.westberks.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=3791 for info about what's there and for directions.
It's proposed that we meet there at 3pm and do whatever you'd like:
Then we can enjoy a "bring-your-own-and-maybe-share" picnic tea at about 4.30-5pm. Whatever happens, weather permitting, it's an opportunity to spend some time together and get to know each other a bit better.
Anyway, we'd be delighted if you'd join us, so if you're a "definite" yes, a "probable" or a "maybe", please let me know. Equally, I'd like to hear from you if you think it's a terrible idea and/or you'd like to suggest alternative social events for another time!
Once we have an idea of numbers we might be able to organise lifts/car sharing, to reduce our carbon footprint, so please indicate, too, if you'd like a lift or would expect to have space in your car.
Thanks for your time. I look forward to hearing from you and, hopefully, seeing you on 10th July,
