Coffee at St Giles, Dallington

Come and enjoy coffee and cake ( or tea,  biscuits etc if you prefer) and a catch up with friends as Christmas draws to a close. It’s also your last chance to admire our beautiful Christmas tree before we take it down  (volunteers to help after the coffee very welcome!).

Another opportunity for coffee, cake and a chat.  And to restock on books or even play a game of snooker.  No need to feel any guilt about the cake. It’s still Christmas! We look forward to seeing you there.

Report on Coronation celebrations:
At our service following the Coronation we were, as is often the case on ‘big occasions’, without a member of the clergy. Our Churchwarden, Wendy Miers, using material supplied on the internet, produced a service of celebration in which a number of the congregation took part.

After church there was a picnic on the recreation field which had been organised by several residents in conjunction with Dallington Parish Council. Thankfully, and unlike the loyal members of the public who cheered the King and Queen in pouring rain, we were blessed with sunshine.

There were games, cakes and a very clever photo booth tent complete with robes of state, an orb and sceptre and a throne. A lot of thought and imagination which resulted in a happy afternoon of celebration for everyone who joined in the fun.
