| Messy Church. Who said Church should be boring? St Giles Church is to be recognised as a church for families who want to meet Jesus, belong to their local church and bring up their children as Christians but can't cope with traditional Sunday morning church services. Who said Church had to be boring? It's a once-a-month time of creativity, cooking, worship and eating together. We run Messy Church every 4th Wednesday of the Month. Be there, at St Giles Church Hall. 3:30 – 6pm. |
| Back to Church Sunday. We pray that people who have attended church before but no longer do so, will be personally invited to attend St Giles or St Matthew’s. Everyone is welcome, we hope a personal invite will encourage you to come back to Church and join us on 27th September 2009. |

| Love in a Box Launch for 2008 - 19th September. We have been supporting the Samaritans Purse, Operation Christmas Child. Also known a "Love in a Box". We asked you to fill a shoe box with gifts and love. Operation Christmas Child sends a message of hope to children in need around the world through gift-filled shoe boxes. In 2007 we collected more than 140 shoe boxes full of love and gifts. In 2008 we collected over 250. Thankyou to you all. An acknowledgement from the Samaritans Purse organisation is on show at the back of the church. CAN WE INCREASE OUR NUMBER OF BOXES IN 2009 |
