OUR LADY OF GRACE CHURCH celebrates the 25th anniversary of the laying of the church foundation stone on September 24. Present parishioners would like to invite former parishioners to join the celebration. Do you have friends or ex-neighbours who used to attend the church but have since moved away? If so, please let them know about the silver anniversary or ring 01494 639686 so that they can be sent an invitation.

OPEN DOOR CAF is open from 10.30am to 11.30am every Thursday at St Birinus & St John's Church, Sycamore Road. For 50p you can enjoy fair trade coffee or tea and biscuits and a chance to chat - or sit quietly and read a newspaper if you prefer.
