Some of our activities will be taking a break over the summer but Tuesday Together continues every week so 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.
Some dates for your diary – Saturday 2nd September – day out at the beach – meet up with friends and family at Old Hunstanton. More details next month.
Saturday 11th September – Historic Churches Ride and Stride. More details nearer the time but book the date if you’d like to take part or can offer help manning a church welcoming station. Sponsors will be needed too!
We have enjoyed welcoming under-fives
and their grown-ups into St James Church on Monday mornings from 9.00am – 10.30am - a good time to make new friends, enjoy craft making, listen to a story, sing songs, enjoy refreshments together and have a chance to chat. We will be taking a break over the summer holidays and returning in September (first session 11th September).
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.
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.
