October News

October is traditionally the month where it turns cooler and the leaves begin to fall! Here is what October holds for us:

Creationtide.

Creationtide concludes on the 4th October which is the day Christians remember St Francis of Assisi, the patron Saint of the environment and animals because he loved all creatures. Last Thursday evening, to mark the end of creationtide a group of us met for a Prayer Walk at All Saint's in Barrowby. You can see pictures above. It was a beautiful evening and wonderful to listen to the birds and pray in God's creation.
