News from the Barn

The Barn takes its summer rest in August, so here’s a round up of everything that’s happening before then:

On Sunday (July 21st) at 4pm Be Still and Rest marks the end of a busy season with quiet, stillness and the opportunity to make a wind chime, if you wish!  

Monday (22nd) sees Warm Welcome at the Barn from 11am until 2.30pm. Has salad weather finally arrived!?

Art Cafe in the Barn has been rescheduled from July 24th to 31st, 10.30am-12.15pm. We going to be looking at/drawing/making flowers at our end of term special!

News from Elsewhere:

I spotted this art trail across remote churches on the English-Welsh border on the Art + Christianity website. Looks interesting… Click here to read it.

Thank you for your support for the Barn during the year. I you have a good and restful summer.

Best wishes, Nick
