St Margaret’s is celebrating their 60th Anniversary on Sunday at 10.30 am and we have decided to join their service!
This means there will be no 9 am service on Sunday and instead we would love to celebrate with them and see you at 10.30 am!
Come along to our Holy Cross fete, a fabulous community event with food, goods and fun!
10am-3pm Saturday 18 November
Enjoy scones and tea in the morning, and sit in the sun listening to live music for lunch while enjoying food from around the world.
Pick up repurposed treasures from our bookstall, clothes and famous white elephant, and get ready for Christmas with handmade crafts, jams, gifts, cards and beautiful decorations.
Let your kids have fun on the jumping castle, kids’ games and face painting, then end the day with gelato, cake and lemonade.
All welcome!
