Upchurch Matters

The Rainbow Café at St Mary's Church

On the 2nd Thursday of each month.

We enjoyed a fantastic and really busy Rainbow Café in September.

So many of you came and supported us. And the children loved their special snack deals, crafts and stories.

We will be doing it all again on Thursday the 12th of October.

Please join us when we open our doors between 2:00pm and 4:30pm. 

You will receive a very warm welcome, and as you eat our delicious cakes and savouries, you will be helping us support four Ugandan children through school. 

Everybody welcome!

A Coffee and A Chat

To all who would like a chat.

Since I lost my husband in February, I have realised the importance of getting together to have a chat.

So, I will be at Upchurch River Valley Golf Course again at 2:00pm on Monday the 9th of October.

Do join me. Just turn up - buy a coffee, and come and have a chat in the conservatory.

We will meet once a month at first, and who knows, we may make it more regular.

If you know someone who needs a lift, please let me know, and I will see what I can do. If you drive, why not offer a lift to a friend or a neighbour?

So you know who I am - you may already know me from the foodbank collections, the Rainbow Café or Uplift church.

I look forward to chatting with you all.

Swale Foodbank Collection - October

Swale Foodbank Collection

Thank you, Upchurch, for your wonderful generosity to Swale Foodbank in September.

We were able to fill 3 trolleys and give £50 in donations.

This month is a special time when the church celebrates and gives thanks for the Harvest and for those who work so hard to provide us with our food.

It's a time to remember how blessed we are, and out of those blessings, we give to those who have little.

You do that month after month, and I thank God for your kindness and generosity. 

I will be collecting your foodbank donations at the bus stop opposite the church again on Wednesday the 4th of October, between 10:30am and 11:30am.

Please bring your items in carrier bags.

We will then deliver them to the Swale Foodbank Warehouse, part of the Trussell Trust.

All donations are helpful, providing the food is long life and well within date.

Thank you, and may God bless you ❤️
