RIDE & STRIDE. This annual fundraising event, organized by The Friends of Essex Churches, will be on Saturday September 11th. Both St Andrew's & St Mary's churches get involved in this - please see the notices at the back of church for details.
CHRISTIAN AID COLLECTION AT TESCO'S. The churches in Barnston & Great Dunmow have been given permission to collect for Christian Aid at TESCO's on September 2nd. We now need to gather a band of collectors who, on a shift system, can collect throughout the day. Are you available for an hour or two between 9.00am and 7.00pm? Offers of help should be passed on to Gerald Crowley.
ST MARY'S SIDESMEN. The next Rotas are already in your pigeon holes awaiting collection.
JOIN THE DUNMOW BAT WALK. On Saturday 4 September Sylvia and Roger Jiggins from the Essex Bat Society will be holding a special bat event. It will start at 7.15pm in St Mary's. Bats may emerge and fly inside the Church in which case we will remain in the Church for a while watching them and listening to their calls on the bat Detectors. Then we will go outside and hope to see/hear bats around the Churchyard. Finish will be 8.30ish depending on bat activity and human interest. People should bring torches so they can see where they are walking when outside in the dark. Places are limited so please book in advance - please contact Catherine Sale (874403) for details.
INVITATION TO BLACK CHAPEL. The friends at Black Chapel, Ford End have sent an open invitation to any who would like to attend their special service at 3.00pm on the 5th September.
