Lest we forget.

We have a very special Messy Church on 8th November to mark Remembrance Sunday.

As ever, there is no minimum or maximum age limit.

We start with a free community lunch from 12 noon, and commence commemorative crafts from 1pm, with a reflective session to end proceedings, which finish at 3pm - crafts you can take home and display for Remembrance Day on 11th, or just keep close to you.

Booking information is in the image, but if easier, email [email protected], and we can send the booking form out, for catering purposes.

A few snaps from Brilliant Bede today, which was a hive of activity, and information about our Remembrance Messy Church on 8th November.

Lunch from 12, activities and service 1-3.

We'll also be handing out hot chocolate to trick or treaters 6-7 tomorrow evening.

See flyer for booking information, for Remembrance Sunday, which is required.

And a massive thank you to my volunteers for today.

As we approach November 🗓️, you'll start to see crocheted and knitted poppies 🏵️ appearing on our railings.

These are free to take, with our blessing.

Please, however, only take one per household as we have a finite supply, provided by some amazing volunteers. 🧶

You'll also notice we've put up information about a very special Remembrance Sunday Messy Church, on 8th November, including a community lunch. 💐

There'll be a separate post about that, or if you're coming to "Brilliant Bede" on Friday, there'll be flyers to take away with information. ℹ️

Post to follow. For initial enquiries, email [email protected] 📧
