This will be an All Age Family service with craft activities in the foyer during the sermon.  Afterwards there will be refreshments and a conker competition!!

Please bring along your harvest food gifts for the children to bring up to the front of the church during the first hymn. These can also be brought along to the Drop-In on the Friday before.

As ever, donations towards the cost of the flowers will be much appreciated.  Please pass these on to Jim, Barbara or Mandy.

HARVEST SUPPER AND SALE - MONDAY 6TH OCTOBER 6:00PM CHURCH HALL

This will be a faith supper so please bring along some food to share and plenty of cash to spend.  All money raised will go to TearFund. Any unsold tins/packets will go to the Foodbank in Whitehaven.

If you are not able to attend and you want to donate financially, please give your donations to Jim or Barbara, or use the card reader at the back of the church.

**We will be at the church hall from 5pm to set up on the day. If anyone is able to help with setting up, you will be most welcome.

CHILDREN’S GROUPS ON SUNDAYS

We are so thankful to those adults who have offered their time and talents to work with our children.  We have been doing the necessary Safeguarding checks before involving new volunteers in the running of the groups.   In October we are having an All Age Service on the first Sunday with craft activities during the sermon. For the remaining three Sundays we will have children’s groups during the services. This pattern will be repeated during the services in November too.

Moving forward this is such an important part of our ministry at St Bridget’s for which we welcome your prayers alongside extra donations of biscuits and juice!!

FRIDAY DROP-IN
