The Mayor & Mayoress of Kenilworth, Spencer and Daphne Harrison invite you to join them at a "Splendid Summer Buffet and Wine Tasting". This is the first event supporting the Mayor's chosen charity for the year which is the Parochial Hall Restoration Appeal. There will be a musical trio playing before and during the meal and there will be an opportunity to win quality prizes in a raffle. The event will take place in the Parochial Hall from 12noon. It is hoped that the weather will be kind enough to allow the use of the recently landscaped outside area. Tickets for the lunch cost £11 which includes a glass of wine. They are available from Daphne Harrison or Heather Alford or by emailing us using the link below.

Every so often on Sundays during the year we will continue to hear stories of how some of our congregation came to faith. The third of these testimonies will take place on Sunday 7th September with Roger Frost and the fourth in the series on 21st September. Come and support those speaking and be encouraged and excited at the many different and wonderful ways in which God works in our lives. Richard Awre

Pump up those tyres and get the walking boots ready! Your help is needed to preserve our historic churches for all to see and use by being sponsored to visit as many churches as possible choosing your own route either by walking or cycling. If you nominate St Nicholas and St Barnabas on your form we will qualify to receive 50% of your sponsorship, with the rest for the benefit of the Warwickshire and Coventry Historic Churches Trust, which makes grants to churches to help with repairs to their special buildings.

On Sunday 28th September thousands of people will be inviting someone special back to church with them. People lose touch for all sorts of reasons, but millions would come back with an invitation. The Church Times describes the Back to Church Sunday as evangelism at its easiest. It’s about being able to say three phrases: I’m going, it will be good, and would you like to come too? In late August invitations will be available in church and between now and then we need to be thinking and praying about who we could invite. For the person who has not been to church for a few years coming with someone else make all the difference.
