Stitch It - Don't ditch it!

Did you know that there is a monthly "Stitch it. Don't ditch it!" group that meets on a Thursday afternoon in the parish hall?
It is a group of like-minded, lovely 'crafty' people who socialise with a cuppa whilst mending things and giving items a new life!
Please feel free to come along and join them with something you would like to restore rather than throw away!
The next 'Stitch It' session is this Thursday (12th Jan) from 2pm - 3pm in the parish hall next to church.
All are welcome! Just drop in!



Sycamore is an informal course about the Christian faith and its relevance for life today. It gives you space to meet other people, share ideas, explore your beliefs, and think about questions that really matter.

Rose Lanigan, Mission Support Manager for Sycamore is running a series of ‘How to Webinars’ for Clifton diocese. This helpful and practical series will be hosted on Zoom in January as four evening sessions each starting at 7pm and then repeated in February during the daytime from 11am.

If you are interested in being involved in running the course for St Augustine's Parish, please make contact with Fr Barnabas and sign up for the webinars to learn more about the 'how to's of the group....
OR if this is something you would like to join, if we can find people to run the course, please also let us know so we can gauge interest.
