So as we move into the summer term and the holidays come even closer we are pleased to welcome the Mayor, Councillor Craig Wilcox and guests for his Civic Service on Sunday 9th July at 3.00pm.
We are looking forward to welcoming Andy Stilwell and his family to Thrapston at the beginning of July. He will be working alongside Nolan as our curate, having been ordained in Peterborough Cathedral at the end of June.
We are hoping for fine weather for an outdoor James Day service and cream tea on Sunday 23rd July at 3.00pm. Come along and join us.
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 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.
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.
We have enjoyed welcoming under-fives
and their grown-ups into St James Church on Monday mornings from 9-10.30am – a good time to make new friends. We will be taking a break over the summer holidays (last session 17th July) and returning on 11th September. 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 email 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.
