QUIZ NIGHT
We are planning to hold a Quiz Night in the Church Hall on the evening of Friday, 9 June 2017. There will be a Ploughman's Supper with a sweet and of course a Quiz. We would ideally like people to form teams of six to compete but that of course does not prevent anyone from buying a single ticket or a pair and they will be put into teams when they arrive. Tickets are £7.50 and obtainable from either Margaret Nicholas or Sarah Stott.
MIDSUMMER FUN DAY
To celebrate the completion of our Tesco Bags of Money project, the North West Kent Countryside Partnership are going to organise and run a Midsummer Fun Day on Saturday, 17 June 2017, 11am - 3pm, at and around St Mary's Church, Riverhead. Events will include Giant Flower Making, a Quiz Trail, a Bug Hunt, Dragonfly Crafts and a Woodwork Stall. Tea and cakes will also be available. Entry is free to everyone. Hope to see you there!
CHURCH WALK
We are planning a lovely stroll through the country on the afternoon of Sunday, 16 July 2017. It would be for people of all ages: from buggy brigade, to strollers with sticks and all abilities in between. Family-members and friends all welcome. It will be lead by a fully qualified walk leader who would arrange things so that people could peel off at different points as required. Essentially, it would be from Barden to Leigh. Car parking would be available. People could bring snacks/picnics if they'd like. We will shortly put a sheet at the back of the Church for people to sign up if interested.
CONFIRMATION 2017
Bishop James will be confirming both adults and young people in a special service at St Luke's Church, Sevenoaks, at 10.30am on Sunday, 24 September 2017. If adults or children are considering being confirmed please contact Revd Martin. More details of the preparation course will be available later. Revd Martin
