May seems to be the month of Bank Holidays so watch the church website for details of changes to regular activities.
Praise and Play will be meeting on May 15th and May 22nd but not on the 8th or 29th. We meet in in St James Church from 9.00-10.30am and have the chance to chat, make new friends, enjoy craft making, listen to a story, sing songs and enjoy refreshments together. All under-fives and their grown-ups are very welcome.
We will be celebrating the King’s Coronation with a special service on the 7th May with craft activities and lunch! We are hoping that the church bells will ring too over the weekend.
If anyone would like to learn to ring the bells please e-mail tdichurches@gmail.com to express your interest. Ringers meet on Monday evenings to practice but teaching sessions can be arranged for those who are interested.
Tuesday Together continues every week so come along come along for a cuppa between 10am and 12noon to meet old friends and make new ones. We’d love to see you. For those who wish to attend, there is also a Tuesday morning Communion Service starting at 9.45am.
We’re also there on Saturdays – 10am-12noon including the first Saturday of the month when the Indoor Craft Market meets in St James Hall from 9.00am-1.00pm. There’s a wonderful range of stalls so be sure not to miss it.
Knitting for Beginners meets on Monday evenings from 6.30-8.00pm in St James, Thrapston and is a group where you can come along and learn how to knit or crochet. It’s free, a lot of fun and those teaching have plenty of patience. No need to book or even bring your own knitting at the beginning. For more details contact Sue on 01832 733717.
Looking ahead there will be refreshments in
the church on Charter Fair Day – June 24th and free circus skills activities in the churchyard. Thrapston Town Band will also be playing throughout the afternoon.
