FRIENDS OF BROOKE PARK
It promises to be a busy summer in Brook Park! The BBC is bringing its Breathing Spaces Summer Festival to the Park on the 8th & 9th June and later in the summer the friends of Brooke Park are planning their annual Picnic in the Park.
Our involvement last year was much appreciated. Maybe this year we can spread the word a bit further and get more parishioners involved.
Do you have memories of walking through the Park to Church?
Would you like to share your stories with others?
There are lots of ways to get involved. I'm sure the BBC will be very interested in 'the little church at the foot of the Park'.
There is a Summer Events Planning Meeting on Thursday 7th May in Gasyard Centre 7pm ending 8pm. Please let Rev Katie know if you are interested in going to this meeting with her.
