St Wilfrid's Brayton - Parish Hall Update

The new hall is really starting to take shape now. Here's a picture from only a few days ago

St Wilfrid's Junior Church

Our Junior Church holiday continues until 13 September but it has been good to see several children in Church on Sunday mornings. We look forward to welcoming some new members when we return and realise that parents will need to stay to settle in their children. We have a planning meeting on Tuesday 8 September for those Mums on the rota of helpers but all parents are welcome to attend - please contact me for more details.

We will all miss Father Darren's enthusiasm and encouragement and the children will particularly miss his interaction at the end of the Sunday morning services. We wish him well in his new post.

The Family Service has been re-arranged for 27 September and will be a Family Communion as it is Harvest Festival.

Regards, Jill Clark
