This week's news

 
THE COUNTDOWN IS ON! 

Only 12 days until our Community Catch-Up! 
Join us for a wonderful time together, with so much to eat, drink, see, and do... including shopping in our "Traders Tent"!

We are so pleased to have Floral Frog with us for summer floral loveliness, Aga's amazing gifts for all occasions, Hannah personalised presents for loved ones, and Roger's fruit, veg and pickles! Also in the tent, our own Bella with the UK Parish Project stall for Friends of the Earth with donated plants, seedlings and produce, plus this year, we will also have a 'Parish Pre-loved' stall with all the 'lost/left' things for people to help themselves to, for a kind donation of money, of course!

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

And don't forget to bring cash as most stalls will only be able to take real money! (I know! Tricker these days isn't it!)


Community Cafe - taking a break

The wonderful volunteer team who run our Community Cafe are now taking a well-earned break over the summer weeks, whilst demand for the cafe is low. So, there will be no Friday cafe until September.

Thank you to all who have helped make our weekly cafe SUCH a success since it opened in January and thanks to all who came and supported it - the feedback from those who have attended has been overwhelmingly positive.

Plans are now in place for its reopening.

St Augustine's Parish community sends the warmest love and best wishes to Alice and George who were married last week - what an honour to celebrate their wedding at our church.
It was a beautiful service led by Deacon Michael Belt, and Alice and George were delighted with the day.
Congratulations to you both!
   

Community Action Day!
This Saturday (10th June) our Primary school is holding a day to help to enhance and improve the outdoor area.
Everyone is invited down to spare what time they can to reconnect with the school, strengthen our ties as a wider community, start work on a new forest school area and have a cuppa together!
If you have some free time to offer, please pop to the Primary school anytime between 9am and 3pm.


Thanks to Downend Baptist Church for this lovely online post. 
-----------------------
"On Saturday 3rd June we joined up with St Augustine’s as part of ‘Churches Together’ and went out into Downend to offer prayer. We are delighted to announce that we are planning to make this a regular event and hope to involve other local churches who would be interested."
-----------------------
We are very grateful to them for their hospitality and we look forward to continuing the venture together. 
With many thanks, Fr Barnabas.
PS - just out of interest, try looking up the Times article online, 'Vicar refuses to resign'! 😆


St. Nicholas of Tolentino RC Church, Bristol host their next monthly celebration of the Eucharist for the LGBTQ+ community on Sunday 18th June - see poster for details.
