Bring and Share picnic
We held a very successful Bring and Share picnic, after our Morning Worship service on 27th July. It was a delightful event and gave people a chance to sit, chat and relax, as well as eating and drinking some delicious food and wine.
Children’s corner
Our toy corner is well stocked with toys, books and drawing supplies. We also have a jigsaw table and a selection of puzzles, so feel free to have a go at one. Don’t feel you have to complete it, as there’s always someone else willing to do that. This is for the use of everyone in the village, so please come along and try it.
Church Opening
Our lovely church is open daily from 10am to 5pm, for quiet reflection and private prayer, or just for a wander around the church and churchyard. From 27th October, when the days are shorter, the church will only be open at weekends.
Midweek Spoken Holy Communion
Our midweek Communion service takes place on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 10am. The dates for the next three months are September 10th, October 8th and November 5th.
Food Bank
Your generous donations for the Food Bank continue to amaze us. Our boxes are still in the church porch and all donations of non-perishable goods are always gratefully received. Please help us to help those around us who rely on this valuable resource.
EVENTS FOR YOUR DIARY
Concert for Oboe and Strings
On Sunday 21st September at 3.00pm we have a concert of ‘Music for a summer afternoon’ when we will be joined by the Crewdson Collective. This group of highly talented musicians include oboist Jessica Mogridge, who is joined by local professional string players. Tickets will be available from the village Post Office, the Friday Café and the Village Arms on Friday evenings, or by phoning 01280 847594. Tickets are priced at £10, and Under 10’s are £5. Interval refreshments will be available.
All monies raised will be shared between the Northamptonshire Music and Performing Arts Trust and St Mary Magdalene Church.
Talking about the charity that the group raise funds for, Jessica said:
‘We’re raising funds for NMPAT because we’re all NMPAT alumni and all work in music or the performing arts in one way or another. From self-employed musicians who work with all the UK’s leading orchestras, to the Captain of the Band of the Irish Guards, and the “Music Health Service” which provides music for people in care homes, we all learnt how to be musicians through our teachers and ensembles at NMPAT.
The Crewdson Collective was formed to play at the memorial concert of Jessica’s mother, Anne Mogridge. Anne anonymously gave money for young musicians to go on residential courses and tours, who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford to go. She wanted those musicians to have the experience, and the Crewdson Collective is continuing this by raising funds through getting together and giving concerts. In a cost-of-living crisis, and with funding cuts to the arts ever present, this work is vital.’
