AXMINSTER PRIMARY SCHOOL HARVEST FESTIVAL
At the end of the last half term the whole of Axminster Primary school came to the Minster for their Harvest Festival Service. It was wonderful to see the church full of children and their Teachers and Teaching assistants, so many that some of the little ones had to sit on the floor!! As they came into the church it was filled with excited chatter but once everyone had settled down they were quiet and very well behaved, listened to what Revd. Cate had to say to them and hands quickly went up to answers her questions. I found it very moving to see their faces light up as they sang with great gusto.
As the children lined up to go back to their school I had the chance to talk to some of the teachers/teaching assistants who all commented on how they had enjoyed the service and they hoped to come again, perhaps for a Christmas Service.
What a wonderful outreach this afternoon was and we pray for the success to continue.

Refreshments and fellowship at Minster 11:00 am services
The recent coffee before the 11.00am service has not been too successful – partly due to the lack of comfort facilities in church, so as of 12 August we will not be serving refreshments ‘officially’ but come and chat and share fellowship whilst we consider how to improve the provision at the Minster.
