‘The Best place to find God is in a Garden’ - George Bernard Shaw
A DAY OF REFLECTION THROUGH PAINTING St Alphege’s Hall, Saturday September 11th. 10am-4pm
A day to reflect on the delights of nature in a garden, through gentle support and instruction in drawing and painting.
‘No good at art?’ Then you are especially welcome, as this day is about seeing with new eyes, finding joy in reflecting on our environment and learning to portray it in your own unique way. Our inspiration will come from the stream, trees, flowers and sky of the Presbytery garden as well as any flowers and fruit you wish to bring. (Photos can be used if inclement weather). Materials provided (available to purchase) or bring your own.
£10 per person & £5 concessions. Numbers limited

THE NEW PARISH HALL
Click on the pictures to enlarge
On Palm Sunday Fr Richard and congregation gathered outside the new parish hall to bless it. The assembly then entered the building for the start of the liturgy of the Palm Sunday Mass before processing into the church carrying palm crosses.
After the Mass the congregation retired to the new hall for a Bean Feast organised by the "Just St Alphege's" Social Justice Group.
The church had taken possesion of the keys of the hall a few days earlier when Pearce's foreman, Naheen, handed over the keys to Jenny Milliner in the presence of architect Pat Benjamin.
Masons cut the new doorway in the NW corner of the church in what was formerly the toilet. The doorway leads to the "cloister", the court yard and the new hall.

THE MAN WHO DID THOSE CARVINGS AT ST ALPHEGE'S
Did you ever sit and wonder who it was who created those carvings of the lives of Our Lady & St Alphege at our church?
So did we, but we have been doing some research and we've unearthed his story. It turns out that he created some fine works throughout the country and in America too. And now we have found out that the Church Guide Book has been wrong all these years!
