Lyulph will be talking to us about the loss of his two great uncles in World War I. In the evening, we will be reflecting on the writer, poet and musician Ivor Gurney at our Festival of Remembrance.

Matthew Coach Trip to Canterbury Wednesday 2nd December 2026 Join us for a festive day out at the magical Canterbury Christmas Market— a perfect start to the Christmas season! Tickets: £19.Tickets sell out fast —book early to avoid disappointment!   Contact Carol Fryer:  07951 725069 or carol@stgileschurch.uk   St Giles Children's Groups We have recently changed how we run things for our children and young people at St Giles.   Sunday School will be for both juniors and seniors, working on the same themes. I have put together a booklet of extension activities for the older children which they can work on alongside the juniors. These older children may now join us whenever Sunday school is running.   Youth Group is for any secondary school aged child/young person and so those seniors who worked with us last year are invited to join us, as is anyone else who fits into that age group.    I hope these new arrangements will suit everyone's needs. Do get in touch if you need any further information.   The children's area at the back of church will always be there for our younger under 3s and at All Age Worship. Irene Dancer

Harvest Evening Service Sunday 4th October 6:30pm Our Sunday evening Harvest Service is going to be different this year. The focus will be on a wonderful poem by the English poet John Clare entitled The Nightingale’s Nest. I’ve chosen this poem as it has much to inspire in terms of Harvest, the environment and our relationship with Mother Nature. The service will of course be lead by our wonderful choir and refreshments will be served afterwards. I do hope you will be able to attend this service if you are free. Matthew St Giles Centre Refurbishment Thank you to everyone who has, and is continuing, to support the St. Giles Centre Refurbishment Appeal.  I am pleased to say that the fundraising has gone really well and the work is now underway. We are going to continue with our fundraising efforts up to the end of the year as we will need to provide new equipment for the Centre when the refurbishment work is completed.  Read More Recycling Stamps for Charity Thank you to everyone who has donated stamps for Against Breast Cancer UK. As I write this, you have donated over 1kg of stamps. I will be removing the box from the porch of St. Giles at the beginning of March and sending off the collection. Please continue to save your stamps. I have collected for my chosen charity for two years now, and I think it has been very successful. If you would like to use this as a means for collecting for your chosen charity in the future, please create a box and put a notice in the pew sheet and the magazine. Helen Roberts

Five Years of the Community Larder and Warm Space

Tuesdays from 10:30am

In 2026, The St Nicholas Community Larder celebrated its 5th anniversary, having begun on a snowy day in February 2021, when a handful of us were kitted out in many layers and masks, with anti-bacterial gel at the ready. That day we had around half a dozen guests, one of whom is still with us as part of the team.
