Treats Only@TheMission
On Saturday 31st October we will invite trick or treaters from our community to drop in @TheMission 5-6:30pm for hot dogs, crafts, sweets and a cuppa - A fete like event, with activities on the lawn and inside. Each child will have a goody bag to take away with their creations and a story based on pumpkins and the gospel.
We need your help - please pray, donate sweets and come along to help or drop in. Polly (Mission).
Parish Church Working Group, Street
We are holding a Churchyard Care Day on Saturday 31st October 10am - 12 Noon. Volunteers welcome for all or part of the time. Even if the Parish Church is not your usual place of worship we would welcome you to join us to help with various tasks to keep the churchyard tidy and manage it in a wildlife friendly way. We have gardening implements but please bring gardening gloves. You may also wish to bring your own secateurs. Refreshments provided.
First Sunday Breakfast
Next Sunday, 1st November, join us for a simple breakfast from 9.45 - 10.15am in the Mission Church. This will be followed by the First Sunday Service.
Bereavement Cafe
A reminder that our monthly bereavement cafe meets next week, Sunday 1st November, between 3 and 4pm in the Mission Church. Open to all on the journey of grief. There are invitation cards in each of our churches. If you know someone, recently bereaved who may value this.
Warm Space
Good news Warm Space restarts at the Mission Church on the 7th November and runs on each Saturday from 11am till 1pm until the end of March 2027. If you know anyone who would benefit from friendly company and a meal, please invite them along and if anyone in the benefice would like to help run Warm Space, please contact Margaret or Mike Long (Mission) 07919437564. It’s a good way of sharing Gods love.
Remembrance
On 8th November there will be Remembrance services at St Andrew’s (10am), Street Mission Church (10.30am), Street Parish Church (10.30am) and Holy Trinity Walton (10.45am).
Walton Quiz
Holy Trinity, Walton are holding a Quiz Evening on Friday 20th November starting at 7.00pm in aid of the Church Restoration and Reordering Fund. Entry is £5.00 per person inc tea/coffee and cake. Maximum team size 6 people. Please see Andy Savage or Sandra Gristock for tickets.
Use of the churches
Would everyone please note that when there are groups using the churches or rooms, it is not acceptable to go into that room until the other users have left. Apart from the rudeness of the disturbance, there is a far more serious safeguarding implication. Please wait outside until the previous group has left. Thank you, Sonia.
