HARVEST FESTIVAL
It was a beautiful autumn day to hold the Harvest Stalls and refreshments in the Churchyard. Children from Messy Church led the singing took part in the Harvest Service and it was lovely to welcome them and their families. After the service, the children made gift boxes of chocolates and biscuits which were taken to the Light Project. Other Harvest donations were taken to the Foodbank. Thank you to everyone who supported our harvest weekend.
ST PEGA’S AUTUMN CLEAN-UP DAY
Pauline and Sheila, St Pega’s Church wardens send a Big Thank you to all who helped with the Autumn Clean Up
We would like to thank you very much indeed for helping at our Clean Up Day at St.Pega’s on Saturday. We had a total of 26 volunteers. It was a wonderful community event with everyone working together with amazing results. Cobwebs were removed from the windows, floors swept, all woodwork cleaned, kneelers brushed etc. The churchyard was tidied, ivy removed from the walls, flower beds weeded, gutters and drains cleaned and what a difference it has made!
We were certainly grateful for the hot drinks to fortify us, and in particular the delicious hot dogs which were provided at lunchtime. Thank you once again for all your help and support.
QUIZ NIGHT
The quiz night was a great success and lots of fun. Members of our winning team are photographed with their certificates and ‘Wise Owl’ awards. Thanks to The Golden Cod at Werrington delivering such delicious fish and chips. £300 was raised.
