WHAT’S ON
In and Around Oundle
Coffee, Cakes, Chatter & More
Monday 8th January 2024, 10am-12noon
Our pop-up café opens again in Cotterstock village hall (PE8 5HD). Drop in whenever you like. Once again, we will have a wonderful selection of cakes and bakes for you to choose from.
If you choose to stay for the last 30 minutes, Sharn Matthews (a well-known museum curator of fashion collections) will give an illustrated talk on “Fashion and Morality”. The clothes some people have chosen to wear have been causing offence to others since Adam and Eve
– and making headlines or sermons for centuries.
£3 (cash only) for any or all of a drink, cake and the entertaining talk too. Do come if you are able and tell friends and neighbours about it, everyone will be warmly welcomed.
Banking at Oundle Library
Barclays Bank now offers a Customer Service drop-in at Oundle Library every week. An adviser is at the library on Monday and Friday, from 9am to 5pm (closed 12.30pm to 1.30pm).
They won’t deal with cash of course, but they can help you with other banking matters.
You can pre-book an appointment online at www.barclays.co.uk/branch- finder/ or drop in to Oundle Library when the adviser is there.
Oundle Baptist Church
The Bereavement Journey is for anyone who has been bereaved at any time and in any way.
We are delighted to offer The Bereavement Journey in Oundle from Wednesday 31st January 2024 from 7-9.30pm for seven weeks.
The Bereavement Journey is a series of films and discussion groups, run over 7 sessions, that guide people bereaved at any time through the most common aspects of grief and bereavement, enabling them to process the implications for themselves and discern next steps.
Usually run by churches, the course uniquely offers a final session on faith questions in bereavement, provided from a Christian perspective. This follows the main sessions and is optional, making The Bereavement Journey suitable for people of any faith or none. The Oundle sessions will be run jointly by a team from Oundle Baptist and St Peter’s churches and held in St Peter’s Church, Oundle.
Guests do their own grief work, facilitated by volunteers. Rev Martin Hills says: “Grief is more easily managed when journeying with others and past losses can be opened up safely.”
Booking is essential. To find out more or to book your place contact Judith Brashaw, email: office@oundlebaptist.org.uk or call 01832 770010 or Andrew Hawkins, email: administrator@oundlestpeters.org.uk The course cost is £10. Bursaries are available.
