Parish Over 50’s Club
Our first coach trip to Headcorn in Kent. There was only 10 of us in the end including Fr Rory. Everyone voted it was a “Great Day Out”. The driver took us on the pretty scenic route, where we saw fields turned into lakes! We encountered great service at the coffee lounge and village tea rooms, all enjoyed the homemade food and wondered in & out of the shops. Sophie also managed to join us for lunch. I think we will wait until Spring for our next outing!! Our next Afternoon tea will be Thurs 24th Nov at 2pm. Our theme will be “getting ready for Christmas”. All the usual food, quiz, sales table etc. Our Dec tea will be Thurs 29th Dec at 2pm, will celebrate the New Year and have a party. Please do come along and join us.

Fr Rory Writes
“Enough Said”
As we draw even closer to the end of the church’s year and with it; The Great Feast of Christ Our King when all our attention is on “His coming again in Great Glory”. Appropriately our focus this Sunday is on Remembrance Sunday, when we remember all those who shared in His experience of the shame of the Cross of Christ. In every age so many lose their lives to what must be the mystery of the cross.
