Below we list key fund raising activities and
events that are scheduled to take place over the coming year. We also list our monthly Church service activities;
further details of these events can be seen on our Calendar of Key Events & Dates page.
We’re a busy

keep up to date. You will also find further details and other useful information in the 'Team Talk' Magazine.

FLOWER ARRANGING COMPETITION FOR CHILDREN
Our eighth annual Flower Arranging Competition will be held on Saturday 28th June. It is

The arrangements will be used to decorate All Saints’ Church, Longstanton, for the Songs of Praise
service that will be held the next day at 6.00 p.m.
Please could the children come along to All Saints’ Church to arrange the flowers between 9.00 a.m. and finish
arranging by mid-day on Saturday 28th June. A parent/carer or responsible adult must supervise their child/children.
The judging will take place later that day and the children will be able to come and see how they have done from 4.00p.m.
that afternoon.
There will be two classes for the competition: arrangement in your choice of container, (toy, basket, dish etc.) and
an arrangement in a dish that will be supplied.
The age groups will be up to 4 years, 5 and 6 years, 7 and 8 years and 9 years
and above. There will be rosettes as prizes.
Flowers, greenery, oasis etc. will also be supplied.
The children will just need to bring along their choice of container that is
waterproof, with a suitable space for some oasis, and secateurs or strong scissors.

8th June
22nd June
Mums & Toodlers Group
(Dads and carers can come too!)
We meet on a Tuesday (during term time) as follows:
10.30 a.m. All Saints’
Church Longstanton (for worship) then Village Institute for refreshments and activities
2 p.m. St Mary’s
Church, Over
We begin with a short and informal time of worship (suitable for children of all ages)
and this is followed by healthy refreshments, a craft activity – and a chance to chat and meet parents facing similar
issues to you.
These meetings are open to all and you are invited to come whenever you can.
We can assure you of a warm welcome,
and it is an excellent way to introduce young children to Christian worship. This is particularly appropriate for those who
have had their children baptised – remember you promised (before God) to bring them up in the life of the church.
Mini-Jaffas & Pram Service
These meetings are for parents with pre-school children. Mini-Jaffas meet in Longstanton
Village Institute at 10.30 a.m. on a Tuesday morning, and
Pram Service meets in St Mary’s Church (and then the hall) at 2 p.m.
(also on a Tuesday).
A short informal time of worship is followed by craft activities (related to the theme)
and refreshments. This is an excellent way of introducing young children to worship, as well as being a good way of meeting
other parents.
Those who have had their children baptised will find this a great way of keeping their
baptismal promises.
Just turn up and you will be guaranteed a warm
welcome at either venue.
Bible Study
Joining a Bible Study group
[Longstanton or Over] is a great way to meet new people, gain a better understanding of the bible and get involved in
our Church activities. If you want to go deeper into the Christian faith, we strongly commend
our two Bible Study groups which meet on a Wednesday morning (Over) and Wednesday evening (Longstanton).
There is always room for new people to join, so if you are
interested contact one of the clergy. The meetings are relaxed and friendly, and a warm welcome is guaranteed.
We have a Choir, Readers and other on-going activities that
support our Church. If you have an interest in joining one of these groups or just coming to see what we're all about, please
contact us for more information and meeting times.
