Our food is Sausage Casserole and Pasta  (with a veggie option available if you’re different 🙂 ).  Desert is Scotch pancakes with bananas and syrup.

It would great if you can join us – on Saturday 3rd from 3:30pm – and why not make it more fun by bringing a friend!

Messy Church : A New Start – Saturday 6th January

Christmas is over, the children are back at school and life is ‘back to normal’ after the long break. However, for many people there is still a feeling of ‘A New Start’ in the air.

We’ll be exploring that feeling at Messy Church this Saturday where we’ll be looking at the story of Noah and the new start which those events brought.

To help the story, we encourage young and old alike to bring along a soft toy animal !

We hope to see you at St Catherine’s, on Saturday 6th January, starting at 3:30pm.
