Christmas Fair
St. Mary’s will be hosting its annual Christmas Fair on Saturday 5 December, 10.30am – 2.30pm. There will be craft stalls, soup, coffee and home-made cake. There will also be a church stall, selling your good quality unwanted gifts, so please get in touch with Jo Hind (07763 896754) to deliver any you may have. Please put the date in your diary for doing your Christmas shopping here in the village!
Evening Service of the Word
This short lay-led service is held once a monthly on a Tuesday evening. In November as usual it will be after the 3rd Sunday on 17 November but the next one will be on 8 December to avoid everything else that happens in the run up to Christmas.
Coffee Morning and Monthly Church Draw
Now that we are firmly in the autumn it is good to meet for coffee and cake surrounded by St. Mary’s heating, and we look forward to you joining us on Tuesday 17 November between 10.30am and noon.
The winners in the October church draw were 1st :June and Andrew Witcomb, 2nd: Christine Warburton, 3rd : Hamish Brodie
Church Flower Arrangers.
Many thanks go to the flower arrangers who decorated the church for our Harvest Festival. Also, special thanks to the Green Health Garden in Daventry who donated such a lot of magnificent dahlias!
Flower Rota: 24 October – 6 November Gill Nelson; 6 November Poppies for Remembrance.
Church Building Maintenance
The high level brushing down of dust and cobwebs from the internal church walls is scheduled for Friday 15 and Saturday 16 January 2027 with the lower level cleaning and polishing completed before Coffee Morning on 19 January. Anyone who would like to help will be most welcome, especially if you have a very long extendable cobweb brush! Please let Geoff know if you can help.
