Living Brook Benefice (Piddington, Hardingstone and Quinton)

St Christopher's Care Home , a Christian setting, currently have two ground floor rooms available for residential care. If you are aware of any of your parishioners who are currently looking for a place, or would like to add their name to our waiting list for full-time residency, please contact Elaine or Sallyann on 01604 637125. 

Come and join us for an excellent afternoon of music making with the fabulous Polished Brass. Money raised will be shared with the church.

Please sponsor Reverend Beverley or one or all of the young people to take part in this event, where the older children will be joining Reverend Beverley and going bare foot the whole day and the younger children will be having a teddy bear's picnic, with bare foot bears.  Money raised will be going to the Leprosy Misson of England and Wales, who are raising money to provide sandals for people with leprosy in Mozambique and Malawi. The teddy bear's 'bearfoot' picnic will be held at the vicarage and include children who come to toddler's praise, whilst members of the living brook youth fellowship will join Beverley in going bare foot during church services around the benefice. Beverley will go bare foot the whole day, so a team of drivers will take her from church to church.

Help us reach our target, we are nearly there now!

  Please come and see the magnificent displays at St John the Baptist, Piddington and help raise church funds.  We are also holding two open air services.  Holy Communion at 11 am will be held in the churchyard. To end our glorious weekend join us in an open air  Songs of Praise at 6 pm in the churchyard.

On the 21st of June we held a service at St John the Baptist, Piddington, to welcome our Living Brook Benefice Team! Julie Austin and Julia Javes of Quinton along with Steve Watson of Piddington, received certificates and gifts to mark the completion of their training in Children's work, Home groups and Worship. They were welcomed by Revd Beverley, Heather Crudgington (our layreader) and our new curate, Deborah Marsh. After the celebratory service we enjoyed a round of cakes and coffee, before diaries were whipped out to arrange the first meeting! The congregations of all the benefice churches welcome our new leaders...

What can it mean? A bear, with bare feet... a barefoot bear? Coming soon to a Living Brook Benefice Church near you: The bearfoot challenge! It's a chance to make a difference, again.
