During May we will be meeting together as a church family to review the past year and make plans for the future. We will be holding annual meetings in St James Church, Thrapston on 8th May and in Denford on 14th May at 7.30pm.
It’s a good time to come along and find out what’s been going on. The Annual Report is very informative and will be available before the meeting. If you’d like to know more please e-mail tdichurches@gmail.com.
All our church activities are up and running again so pop in and see us on a Tuesday or Saturday morning for coffee and a chat (10am - 12 noon). You’ll be very welcome and it’s a good chance to meet new people. There is also a short Communion Service in the Chancel on Tuesday mornings from 9.45am - 10.15am.
Praise and Play is back and ready to welcome under-fives and their grown ups from 9.00 - 10.30am on Monday mornings. Look for the flag outside St James Church and come on in! Sadly we won’t be meeting on the Bank Holiday Mondays (6th and 27th May).
Another popular place to meet and chat
is Knitting on Monday evenings. No need to book just come along to St James Church on Monday evenings from 6.30pm - 8.00pm. All ages welcome!
Saturday 4th May there’s the Indoor Market from 9.00am - 1.00pm with new and familiar stalls to entice you.
Sunday 19th May is Pentecost Sunday when we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit. This year we are celebrating with a Pentecost Stroll from Holy Trinity Denford to St Nicholas Islip and ending in Thrapston with a celebratory service and lunch. Exact timings will be on the TDI website nearer the time but feel free to join us at any point.
Sunday services are detailed below and there’s
something for everyone including 6@StNics which is following the Essentials Course, 4 Sundays exploring four essential principles of the Christian faith. It’s not too late to join in.
