Social
events in 2008
| Harvest Festival
On Sunday, 5th October,
Harvest was celebrated at St Paul's. The church was beautifully
decorated, and in the afternoon a delicious tea was served at the back
of church before the produce was auctioned off. As a result, a
total of £600 was raised for the Bishop of Carlisle's Harvest for the
Hungry Appeal which this year is supporting dairy farmers in Haiti and
giving children an education and a future in Bangladesh. |

The Church is occasionally
used for purposes other than Worship. For example, in April the Grange
Branch of Cumbria Cerebral Palsy Society hosted an evening with the Barrow
Male Voice Choir, when over £300 was raised for the Society. |

Strawberry Tea
 |
On Saturday, 26th July, Pat Rye hosted a
strawberry tea in her garden. It was a glorious afternoon and
about 40 people enjoyed sitting in the sunshine. As a result £250 was
raised for USPG projects in Bangladesh. The PCC has pledge
financial support for USPG over the next three years, and this was the
first of the fund-raising events. |
