Parish Weekend snapshots . . .
Sidmouth 14th-16th July: a few impressions plus images
from the altar frontal and stoles made at Saturday’s all-age
art workshop for Sunday’s service
I really enjoyed myself
... I wasn’t sure what to
expect but Dan and Kat
organised the weekend
brilliantly. I loved the
variety of activities
— Angela
The venue and food were
good, lovely gardens ... the
structure was well-planned
and helpful — John
The thing that impressed
me most about the Parish
weekend in Sidmouth was
the way in which people of
different ages interacted...
...it has long been a concern
of mine that this hardly ever
happened in church...
I hope and pray that those of
us who conversed at Sidmouth
(maybe for the first time) will
continue to do so whenever we
can! — Marion
Thought-provoking teaching
on being church plus the chance
to discuss it and get to know
each other a bit — Jane
I enjoyed getting to know people
better whom I just see in church...
I liked coming together for
the service at the end with
the painted stoles and
altar cloth — John
The film
Marvellous was
unforgettable
and the art
workshop was
inspiring
— Jane
Special praise for the handful
of teenagers and early twenty
somethings who braved it
amongst the young families
and “oldies”! They were all
charming and helpful...
...next time let’s have all the
young choristers too!
— Angela
A creative and
well-organised
weekend with
lots to think
about, in and
in between
sessions
— Jane
Magic moments?
After a wonderful
coastal path walk
I loved just sitting
down with the
art group and
painting sea
scenes for
a stole
— Angela
