Community Cafe visitors from Holly Lodge

St Mary’s has a Community Cafe on Fridays in term time, 10am-1pm. It’s a lovely coffee morning where everyone in the community is welcome to come for a cuppa, chat to friends old and new, and lunch is served at 12.

Imagine our excitement when we were joined last week by some wonderful young people from Holly Lodge! They were brilliant at helping to host, passing the biscuits around, setting up the marble run for the little ones, and even helped us with our posters for the Macmillan coffee morning that is coming up on 26th September. They were a joy to have visiting us, and everyone really enjoyed the duck song too! What a lovely thing to do for Community Week, you brought a lot of smiles to all our faces!

Thank you for visiting and we hope to see you all again soon.

Harvest thanks to the Monday Beavers!

The Ash Villages Food Parcels Project team would like to say a big THANK YOU to the lovely 1st Ash Vale Beavers ‘Monday Group’ who visited us at The Chapel this week. We really appreciate all your wonderful donations, which filled up the donation boxes as you arrived. What a lot of goodies for the food parcels!

All these things will go out in the Food Parcels next week, and make a big difference to local families who are in need of a bit of help at this time. 

It was lots of fun telling you all about the Food Bank and you are all very good at Kims Game! You remembered lots of the things we had in the food parcel box. You were great at the 4 corners game and sleeping lions too!

Thank you for the beautiful Harvest pictures you made to help remind everyone to celebrate harvest and support the food parcels project. We will be sure to display them as part of the Harvest decorations at St Mary’s.

The church is celebrating Harvest Festival on Sunday 6th Otober this year, all welcome at the 10:30 service, and we will have refreshments afterwards. Those of you who like to get creative are welcome to come and help decorate the church (St Mary’s on Vale Road) on the Saturday morning too, it’s lots of fun! See you there.
