All Creation Sings: Art and Flower Festival 2nd -4th September

A while ago I was asked by Cams Hill school in Fareham, whether I thought it might be possible for them to stage an exhibition of their children’s art work in this church.

Having been involved in two very successful Art and Flower Festivals at Christ Church Milton, it seemed to me that we could put on a similar event here.

This will help to make a connection with the school and since the children’s parents will be invited along to see and will give us an opportunity to meet people who would not normally come inside our buildings.

The children’s work will be based on a jungle theme and the whole event will go under the heading,’ All creation Sings’ with, hopefully, lots of flowers depicting various aspects of creation provided by us.

So if have an urge to be creative with flowers, whether you are skilled at it, or not, you will be very welcome to come and have a go. We would also like each of the groups in the church to produce an arrangement.

We hope to begin setting up on Thursday 1st Sept and to be open from 1pm-5pm on Friday; all day Saturday from 9am-5pm and again on Sunday afternoon.1-5pm. The weekend will conclude with a service of celebration at 6.30pm on the Sunday evening, preceded by tea and cakes.

Since exhibitions can make us thirsty, we will be laying on some refreshments during our open times and would therefore appreciate offerings of cakes to sell, together with offers of help, both for the refreshments and for stewarding the event.

Any money we receive in donations will go towards the cost of our new Combined Mission Praise hymn books.So if you can help in any way, please come and see me and let’s make this a really good weekend. Thank you
