The Christmas Season has started! We had a packed church for the Swanage Town Band Christmas concert, which included the singing of carols as well as pieces by the band. And Swanage Primary School held their Nativity in the church.
We had a very special visitor at our Remembrance Day service: Lilian Priest, our eldest member, who had just celebrated her 110th Birthday!
October Messy Church was lots of fun as the children (and adults) learned about the story of the shepherd and the lost sheep - baa!
Our Harvest Festival was a special occasion, with the Church decorated beautifully, gifts donated to the Swanage Food Bank and some rousing singing of 'We plough the fields ...' and other harvest favourites.
And Swanage Primary School's Harvest Festival also took place, with a packed church of children, teachers and parents.
In September we had a tea party for some of our older members and pastoral visitors, with lots of laughter and chat as everyone caught up with each other.
