Bentley Weekly Update 22.9.2023

Important Information to Share

Harvest Service - It is our Harvest service at St Mary's Church on Thursday morning; all are welcome. 
Please can you take your children straight to the church for usual time of 8.45am. The service will starts at 9am. As on previous occasions, if you are not staying for the service, we will be organising a drop off at the layby just before the church. This will allow you to carry on up the road to prevent congestion. 
The service will last until approx 10am when we will walk back to school. Any food contributions will be gratefully received as part of the church collection for families in need. Please hand these to your child before they sit with their class. We will be using the minibus to transport some children back to school.
If bringing younger siblings, please ensure they sit with you at all times to ensure safety in the church and so that everyone can hear and enjoy the service. 
if your child will be attending morning club, please ensure they are dropped off by 8.15am so there is time for them to walk to church with staff.
Please encourage your child to practise any words they have to say in our Harvest Festival on Thursday.

Macmillan Coffee afternoon - Friday 2.30pm.  All are welcome to join us for Macmillan coffee afternoon next Friday.  All donations of cakes are greatly welcomed, please drop donations off at the office on Thursday. 

Worship Group is on Tuesday 26th September.  Please encourage your child to practise any words they have to say in our Harvest Festival on Thursday.
