In September we said farewell to Alan and Sandra Bain after 37 years of ministry at St Philip's when Alan retired.  Many people from the church and community came to the Farewell Party on Saturday 1st September and Farewell Service  the following day.  We wish Alan and Sandra well as they move on.

Come along to a'Holiday In' on Wednesday 15th August for older people to have a day together of coffee, cake, crafts, dance, singing, quiz and a cooked lunch.  It's an opportunity to get together during the summer period when many groups stop meeting. Contact the church office if you wish to come.

Around 500 people from the Odd Down Community came together on Sunday 13th May at Hampset Cricket Club for our Sunday Funday.  Starting at 11am with an outdoor service, the event included a free barbecue, brass band, live music, baton twirling as well as lots of fun activities.  

Our Streetwise Holiday Club in February brought in around 50 children per day for crafts, music, games, lots of fun, and learning some of the stories about Jesus.  We were helped by a team from the Czech Republic.  The week finished with  a special tea-time session on the Saturday.
