Just before Easter 2010 the church underwent a major spring-clean.  Yes, there were mops and dusters, but they were used to reach some unlikely places - places that hadn't been reached for a long time!  And the boys there had great fun playing with the cherry-picker we hired in for the day. Who said spring-cleaning couldn't be fun?!

It all started with a women's breakfast - and since then the women's ministry at St Paul's has grown to include women's days, quiet days at Jennifer Rees-Larcombe's house, walks, meals, and more. And of course it still focuses around the women's breakfasts, which regularly bring over 100 St Paul's women together for the chance to get to know each other better, a yummy breakfast, and a speaker (including in the past Mary Pytches, Fiona Castle, Karen Bailey, etc.).

In July 2010 over 100 St Paul's members had a fantastic weekend away at Ashburnham near Battle in Sussex. The weather was glorious, the surroundings idyllic, the lake refreshing, the worship uplifting and our speaker Peter Harwood thought-provoking, inspiring and challenging.  The children had a brilliant time with Ashley Benson (thanks Louise and Pete, Luke and Joel!), and the creche team made sure the youngest were well looked after, too (thanks Kate, Pippa and Sarah!). All in all it was a brilliant weekend.

Around the end of January each year all our congregations are invited to come together for the BIG Breakfast, when we share a full English breakfast together before recommitting ourselves to God for the year ahead. We enjoy the food, renew exisiting friendships and make new ones, worship God and pray together, "I am no longer my own, but yours..."
