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

Strawberry tea for USPG 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.
