Picnic in the Park

Following Andy's return from sabbatical and before the Youth head away to Newday we warmly invite you to a Picnic in the Park. This offers another great opportunity to meet people in the church family. Just bring along your own lunch (and something to share with others, if you like). As well as something to sit on and some games to play with others. There is a playpark at Chantry Park (beside which we will set up base) as well as plenty of room to play football or other games. We hope to see you there.
