OCTOBER 2023
FOSTON CHURCH
It was good that the church was open for folk to drop in during the Annual Ride and Stride Event recently. This event began with cyclists being sponsored to tour round local churches and all money raised being shared between the Leicestershire and Rutland Historic Churches Trust and the named church.
It has grown in scope over the years and St Bartholomew’s were grateful for a grant from the fund towards the recent works to the building so it was good that two of us were able to cycle on that very hot Saturday and we do thank our sponsors sincerely.
I need to remind everyone that our services are now on the second and fourth Sunday mornings of each month with Holy Communion celebrated at 9.15. Harvest Festival will be on October 8th when we will be collecting canned and dried foodstuff suitable to be sent to Ukraine please. PatsyP

A wonder, fantastic time was had by all, with everlasting memories in a true girl guiding spirit.
