All Saints Church is currently engaged with a process called ‘Mission Action Planning’, which is helping us to work out what the needs of the village are, and how we might better serve both God and our neighbours. If you have any thoughts on what All Saints does well, and what we might do differently or better, please do contact the Rector or any member of the PCC.
Offord Women’s Guild – a fun and supportive group meeting in the Church Rooms, Offord Darcy, every Tuesday at 2.30pm for fellowship, visiting speakers, a monthly service of Evensong, and rounded off with tea and biscuits. Many of the church activities outside the regular services are shared with our sister church, St Mary’s Buckden. These include a Bible study group, Foundations group (for growing in faith and preparing for confirmation), and other occasional groups (see www.stmarysbuckden.org.uk for details) EVENTS
All our events are detailed in the Out and About. Highlights throughout the year include: Christmas Band Concert – an evening of carols from our friends at Cottenham Brass Band, in All Saints Church on a Friday night in early December – with a glass of wine thrown in! Punch, Pie and Carols – a winter’s evening of poetry, readings and sing-along carols in the Church Rooms, Offord Darcy – and don’t forget George’s famous family recipe punch! Bingo Nights – fun for all ages, these latest addition to the list of church-sponsored village activities take place three times a year on Friday evenings at the Church Rooms, Offord Darcy – with sincere thanks to Debbie Young for organising and running these fun events for us. Coffee Mornings – usually two of three each year, on the bank holidays, in the Village Hall Summer Fete – a traditional village fete, held on a Saturday afternoon at the end of June, with the Cottenham Brass Band, Punch and Judy, and all varieties of stalls and refreshments, too. Christmas Bazaar – a Saturday afternoon towards the end of November each year, in the Village Hall, with stalls and entertainments for all ages, and a great chance to stock up on Christmas gifts as well as to rummage through the bric-a-brac and bookstall. |
