Porth Carnival Day
The church was beautifully decorated with flowers - arranged by George & Marion Sparrow, Jean Warren and Rebecca Winter - to whom we are deeply grateful. Just a selection of the arrangements are pictured below.
Refreshments were served in the vestry and a steady flow of visitors enjoyed the home-made fare and Fairtrade drinks all day.

We will use this page to show a selection of pictures from recent events.
Strawberry Tea June 2008
We raised over £210 for Breast Cancer Care at our annual Strawberry Tea during Wimbledon fortnight. About 30 bowls of strawberries and cream, and scones and jam, were served in the church vestry, and a dozen more were sent out to local businesses and housebound members. Thanks to everyone for their support.
