Saturday 19 October 

St Michael’s Church at 9am

Another chance for the ladies of St Michael's to get together to eat a delicious breakfast together. As always, we will chat, share stories and encourage each other. Bring with you a small representation of something from your life (family life, past or present, education, training, hobbies or interests) that has made you the person you are today (or just be ready to talk about it.)  Sue Blakey will talk about her life as a “Vicar’s Wife”.

Sunday 27 October – Breakfast Church in the Village Hall at 9.30am

Please join us to celebrate harvest festival at breakfast church in the village hall at Southam.

Sweet & savoury snacks

Rice

Long-life fruit juice/squash

You can also donate money to help to cover the costs of storing and distributing emergency food as well as delivering additional support and advice.

If you are interested in being baptised or renewing your baptismal vows, it would be lovely to see you on the day or you can contact the church office at admin@stmichaelsbishopscleeve.co.uk or talk to Tim, Ben or Lucy for further information.
