St Cat’s Lite – Saturday 5th Sept

It was great seeing so many of the children at Holiday Club in August. We hope they ejoyed it as much as we did. If you want to continue the fun, why not come along to St Cat’s Lite.

St Cat’s Lite has much of the fun and activities as Holiday Club – with one important addition. Parents and Carers get to join in as well !

St Cat’s Lite meets in church on the first Saturday of the month, starting at 3:30pm. We begin with various craft activities that help us think about the theme. We continue exploring the theme through songs, a story and prayer. We finish with refreshments.

Our next St Cat’s Lite is Saturday 5th September. We’re continuing our theme of “Meals with Jesus” – this month it’s “Lunch with Levi” – a story about Jesus making friends with an unpopular guy.

Everyone is very welcome at this or any of our activities.

Sunday 2nd August – Service moved inside

This morning’s Sunday service (2nd August) will no longer be outside as originally planned, but will be inside instead.

We’re worried about forecast sun & heat and while umbrellas & gazebos were considered, it has been decided to hold the service inside.

It will be a communion service, and we’ll be exploring a new theme – ‘Summer Road Trip’ through the Psalms.

We’d love it if you could join us.

ECO Prayer – August ’26

Our ECO prayer of the month …

Almighty God,

As floods, droughts, and wildfires wreck lives, homes, and livelihoods,
our hearts break as we recognise the injustice at the heart of the climate crisis-
it’s the communities who have done the least to cause it who are most affected. 

We pray that as these communities’ act to recover from climate disasters, and look to adapt to the changing conditions, you will provide protection for them as you did for Noah and his family.

We pray that polluting corporations and nations will listen to the calls of affected communities and change their ways,  so all your people may live a full life in peace, love, and prosperity.
Amen

Prayer by Christian Aid
