June is a month when more and more things become weather dependent so we are hoping for wonderful weather for the Denford Church and Village Fete on the 8th June and for Thrapston Charter Fair on Saturday 29th June.
We will be pleased to welcome you into
St James Church on Charter Fair day for refreshments and a chance to look around our beautiful building. There will be people on hand to answer any questions you might have but you are very welcome just to sit and enjoy a bit of peace away from the hustle and bustle of the High Street. There will be free activities for children outside in the churchyard too.
Kettering Ukulele Plus Ensemble will be providing gentle music in the church for a while after their time in the High Street.
Saturday 1st June there’s the Indoor Market from 9am-1pm with new and familiar stalls, some hopefully outside on the grass in the sunshine. Don’t forget Katelyn’s cake stall in the church too.
Fortunately the Fashion Show on the 21st June will be in St James Church though a warm summer’s evening would be good! Tickets £5 available on the door.
All our other regular church activities continue throughout June so pop in and see us on a Tuesday or Saturday morning for coffee and a chat (10am-12noon). 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 ready to welcome under- fives and their grown ups from 9am-10.30am on Monday mornings. Look for the flag outside St James Church and come on in!
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!
Following the Annual General Meetings last month the Annual Report is available and very informative. If you’d like a copy please e-mail tdichurches@gmail.com.
