Technical problems at Facebook prevented many from watching our regular Sunday Morning livestream on July 19th. This was particularly disappointing as it was a wonderful service which included everyone going outdoors to watch two of our newer members reaffirm their baptism vows and undertake a full imersion baptism.
Fortunately the full service was recorded and is now available on our YouTube channel, or click below.
Due to the expected heat this coming Friday 17th July, Friday Friends has been cancelled.
The planned activity would have been Flower Arranging with Maureen.
Stay cool and drink well everyone!
Please join us at our special Family Service on Sunday 19th July, starting at 10am, followed by an outdoor barbeque .
The service will be a celebration, including full immersion adult baptisms outside.
Bring along your friends – all welcome!
Our crafting group ‘Crafty Space’ meet in the Church Hall – usually on the 2nd Saturday of every month.
Crafty Space is a place and a time when a group of crafters meet together one Saturday a month in St Catherine’s Hall. Everyone is welcome.
They provide space, tables, power, tea/coffee & cake. All you do is bring along those craft projects you’ve always meant to find time to do!
All they ask is a donation of around £2 per person, per hour to cover hall costs and refreshments. They can accept card payments.
They also have a well-stocked swap box in which you are very welcome to search!
Due to the expected heat this coming Friday 10th July, Friday Friends has been cancelled.
The planned activity would have been seated exercises.
Stay cool and drink well everyone!
Friday Friends meets from 2.00 – 4.00pm every Friday, price £3.50 (carers free), offering a mix of talks, light exercise, singing together, table top games or craft activities in a safe, warm and friendly environment – with tea and cakes.

Our ECO prayer of the month …
Creating God,
Your name is written on every leaf, every bird, every river,
every stone, every living being.
We praise and worship you for the magnificence of your creation.
Make us attentive to the wounds of the earth
and willing to work for the healing of the whole creation,
through Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord.
Amen.
Prayer by Jon Swales
Our next ‘St Cat’s Lite’ service is Saturday 4th July, at it’s normal time of 3:30pm.
We’re continuing with our theme of “Meals with Jesus”. This month it’s ‘The Feeding of the 5,000’.
Everybody is welcome.
St Cat’s Lite is a fun, informal, all-age service which usually meets on the first Saturday of the month. While open to anyone of any age, it’s especially popular with children & families.
We start with different craft activities that help us think about the theme. We continue exploring the theme through songs, stories and prayer. We finish with refreshments.
Everyone is very welcome at this or any of our activities.
Three days left!
