After a refreshing summer break, we are ready to resume our calendar of events at St Gregory's.

The next Cacoffany will take place on Saturday 3 September starting at 10am with a programme of uplifting hymns for all to sing. This will be followed at approximately 10.45am with delicious coffee and cakes and the chance to catch up with friends.

There is no admission charge for this, but we do run a Bring and Buy stall which supports the upkeep of our lovely church. All are welcome to join us, whether regular attenders, visitors or those who are simply curious! Just drop into the church at any time 10am-11.30am. Hymns may be requested by email to sjmusgrave33@gmail.com.

Our next fund-raising event is a Jazz Evening on Saturday 17 September when we have a group of musicians coming to pay homage to the evolving American jazz styles from the 1920s to the 1960s. The M4 Allstars will deliver relaxing music from Satchmo to Miles and Coltrane as promoted by Francis Gryspeerdt.

We look forward to a thrilling evening of jazz with drinks available from the bar throughout. Tickets cost just £10 each and include light refreshments during the interval. Reserve yours now by calling Sarah Musgrave 01684 833869 or Mark Lister 01684 833549.

Our service pattern continues this Sunday with Holy Communion at 9.30am. This includes set readings, selected hymns and an inspirational talk from The Revd Chris Moss. All denominations are welcome - do join us if you can.
