We will start the New Year 2019 with a sample of canvas work stitches on a small scale, and then make it into a needle case or pin cushion.
Following on from the Reflections on the Beatitudes which we studied in Lent, we are going to meet monthly on the last Tuesday of the month. T
We meet informally with a quiet time of reflection, a hymn to sing, some music to listen to, prayer, Bible reading and discussion as we consider our discipleship using phrases from the Lord’s Prayer.
Please do come along, enjoy some refreshment and fellowship.

Why pay gym fees when you can have some healthy outdoor exercise, helping to clear graves under expert guidance as part of this 'macro-gardening' project. This monthly working party meets for a couple of hours monthly at the Burial Ground (off Huntingdon Road), to work under the guidance of Rod Ailes. Warm clothing, stout shoes and gloves are advised, and you can do as much or as little as you wish - all help will be greatly appreciated. Tools will be available but you can also bring along your own secateurs, loppers and waste sacks, and do bring a drink as well, as it can be thirsty work.
Dates for 2019:
16th February, 16th March, 13th April, 11th May, 15th June, 20th July. There are no working parties in January or August. The Autumn dates will be published later in the year.
The Friends aim to protect and enhance these remarkable burial grounds for the public benefit as a place of remembrance, spirituality, history and nature. You can read more about the Friends and join here. New members are most welcome.
