Pictures from our previous events.
2023 was such a busy and entertaining year and have used our West End Community Space for many of our activities.
During the year we had the following events: Lent Lunch, Easter Morning 6 am Service followed by Breakfast, Coronation Lunch, Harvest Festival Celebration. For the first time we held monthly board games nights during the summer as well as regular Craft Evenings. We were also delighted that the Parish Council now holds all its meetings at St. Matthew's. We enjoyed all our activities and attracted many new people to come to the church. Whitchurch Memorial Hall was the venue for our successful Barn Dance, and Quiz and Supper, with the Harvest Supper held again at Fivefold.
Many thanks to everyone who supported us by coming and sharing in these events. We look forward to seeing
you in 2024.
