Autumn Festival - Lytchett Minster URC
On Saturday, 11th
September, Lytchett Minster URC are holding their Autumn Festival (combined
with the Dorset Churches Cycle Ride). There will be Produce and
Bric-a-brac stalls, as well as refreshments from 0800 - 16.00; ranging
from early bacon butties to late cream teas via drinks and cheese rolls.
They are looking for help with all aspects of the day, and also donations of
produce and bric-a-brac. If anyone is able to help in any way, whether
for just an hour or more, please contact Pat Johnson as soon as possible.
Last year our Minister,
Caroline, took part in The Great Sponsored Cycle Ride with proceeds shared
between Lytchett Minster URC and the Dorset Historic Churches Trust.
Unfortunately Caroline cannot cycle this year, so if you would like to take
part in cycling or walking to visit some well-known and other less-visited
churches, please see Caroline today for a sponsor form and list of
participating churches, or call in to LM URC next Saturday. The starting
point, route and number of churches visited (whether 1 or 50+!) is entirely a
matter of personal choice.
