We moved today's Parish Picnic indoors because of the ">95% chance of heavy rain" and so of course the monsoon drifted just to the west of us and it was totally dry. But we still had a great time with food, fun, games and chat. The Up Hatherley All-Comers Jenga Championships in particular got so intense that they diverted attention away from the Man United match. 🧺🧁🧱⚽💒

We have bowed to the ever more strident weather warnings and have reluctantly decided to move this afternoon's parish picnic tea (3-5 pm) to the Church Centre ☔️⛈️ It will still be fun so please do join us if you can 🧺🥪🍏⛪️

Our churchwardens are justly proud of their big bunches of keys but the young people at our Starters Group this morning (every 2nd and 4th Sunday during Mass) focused on the Ultimate Key Ring that opens doors far more miraculous than even the boiler cupboard... 🔑🗝️✝️⛪🪨💗

A large group of us had a wonderful time last week on our Parish Outing to Nature in Art in Twigworth, both viewing the exhibition and enjoying a leisurely cream tea. Here's hoping for more of the same at the other events we are planning for the autumn 🖼️☕⛪

This week's newsletter has a focus on the lively programme of events that the PCC's Mission Sub Group are intending to organise in the autumn, starting of course with the Parish Picnic in Caernarvon Park on the Bank Holiday Weekend 🧺🥪⛪✝️

As of Sunday morning we had an officially epic 17 people signed up for the Parish Outing to Nature in Art on the afternoon of Friday 14th. 🐞🐝🐌🖼️🎨

The plan is for everyone to meet up in church car park at 1pm, sort out between us who needs transport and then set off to get there for 2pm. Because of our large numbers the price has been reduced to £13.50 per person, covering admission to the site and the exhibition plus a Cream Tea. You can pay on the day. ☕

If someone was able to take a few photos from the day I'd be more than happy to put them up on this page. 📷
