Pet and Teddy Service on September16th. It gives me great pleasure to report that the Pet Service kindly hosted by the Cullingfords was an enormous success. On a golden Sept afternoon about fifty people gathered to celebrate the many parts played by animals in our lives through a variety of bible readings and hymns. A big thank you to the local youngsters who read so eloquently and to the congregation who sang heartily!! This is fast becoming an annual favourite! Sue W.
Today Autumn has really arrived. The trees are laden with berries and fruits. The crops are in, the fields neatly readied for the next sewing. Barbara Dring is kindly organising a Plant swap - Bring your spare/unwanted plants to the Ladies Coffee morning at the Old Mill House on October 10th and swap them for something else.
Harvest festival on October 7th will be swiftly followed by Remembrance Sunday on November 11th as we move towards Christmas itself. Please feel welcome to join us at any or all of these services
All Saint’s Church News:
We have been fortunate this year to celebrate so many events in good weather. However, with such a golden harvest around us, let's hope the farmers get the conditions they need to bring it all safely home.
A reminder of some events to come that will hopefully attract clement weather:
Ladies Coffee Morning: The second Wed of every month at The Old Mill House, 10.30am. Wed 8th August. All welcome including the xchildren!!
Weddings in August: Rosa Akerman and Jake Edwards – Saturday 25th August. We wish them all God’s blessings and every happiness for their future together.
Suffolk historic Churches Bike ride: A special plea for as many people as possible to support this fun event, taking place on September 8th and now known as Ride and Stride (i.e., cycle or walk) full details can be found on the Internet, including downloadable forms. Ride & Stride is run entirely by volunteers and is inter-denominational, with cyclists invited to seek sponsors for each place of worship visited by them between 9.00 a.m. and 5.00 p.m. on Ride & Stride Day. The money raised by each participant is shared equally between the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust and their nominated place of worship. As important as the cyclists, are the many volunteers who give up the day to sign the cyclists in. It is a real community effort and is the lifeblood of the Trust.' Sarah Rimmer is looking for volunteers to man All Saints for an hourly stint somewhere between 10a.m. and 4p.m. Her mobile number is 07792 158764. Sarah also has sponsorship forms. Come and join the fun!
