Street Repair Café meets again on Saturday 26th September 10-12noon at Street Quaker Meeting House (opposite the Mullions Hotel). A Repair Cafe is about exchanging skills and meeting new people, and saving items from being thrown away. The Repair Café’s amazing team of volunteer repairers / stitchers / fixers will be ready for another busy morning - bring your household, electrical or clothing or other fabric items you hope can be repaired and loved for longer.
Or just come along to our café to enjoy home made cake. A warm welcome and cool space with refreshments.
Contact streetrepaircafe@gmail.com if you have any questions.
SWCD Book Group
We meet again on Tuesday 6th October at 11 am at the Mission Church to discuss The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. You are welcome to join us whether you have read the book or not to find out what others thought of it. Thank you to those who have suggested books for next year; there is still time to add to the list. Susan Ripley (Parish)
Knitted or Crocheted Poppies
We are hoping to enhance the display for Remembrance Sunday at the Parish Church in Street and Holy Trinity Walton. Could you knit poppies for us? We are requesting mainly red but would also welcome some white, purple or black poppies. Patterns are available on the internet. Please ask if you would like a printed copy. If possible we would like to receive the poppies by Saturday 31st October. Susan Ripley (Parish) and Sandra Gristock (Walton)
Home Communion
We currently take communion to various people and 2 care homes once a month. There was a small team which has gradually got smaller and is now just Sandra (Walton). Sandra cannot do it alone so we really need a couple more people to form a team. If you would like to be part of providing this valuable and rewarding service and would like to know more, please contact Jeff Brewer (Walton—0797 0881 779). If you know what it is all about and would like to join Sandra, please let me know. Thanks, Sonia (churchoffice8@gmail.com)
