Fellowship at St Mary Magdalene
The St Mary Magdalene’s Fellowship group meets on the third Wednesday of each month, with the exception of August. We meet in the Church Hall from 2:00 pm and have a wide variety of speakers, followed by tea with cake and lots of chat. There is no membership fee and we don’t mind if you are not a regular member of the church, all are welcome. There are two exceptions about the meeting time, in July and December we meet for lunch at a local venue at 12:30pm. The time may be different on these dates but the fellowship is just the same. Please feel free to just turn up, or speak to Maureen (Mo) Lunn.

From the Parish Magazine...
During a recent Fellowship meeting we enjoyed a talk about a wonderful charity known as MAF Flying for Life. In the remotest parts of the world, in the most devastated areas, MAF, using light aircraft, are there to transport people, medical equipment, and freight wherever it is needed. This is an inspirational organisation that began in 1950 and has partnered many other charities across the world, from Australia to The Caribbean and Mongolia to date. The light aircraft are able to take off and land where roads are impassable or larger planes simply cannot. The talk was delivered with passion by a local man who has responsibility for the whole of the South of England.
We have also been treated to a talk from a local Bee Keeper.
Kind regards to all from Mo
