Countdown to FOCAS

On Sunday 5th November, the Oak Flats Community is joining together for the F.O.C.A.S Oak Flats Town Fair. F.O.C.A.S (For Our Community And Schools) aims to bring together the local community and businesses of Oak Flats for a time of celebration, good times and community spirit. The day will run from 10am to 3pm and our church will be involved by helping out with the rubbish collection and running a stall. Please let the office know if you can help on the day, and please be praying for the event.

St Andrews’ Day – only 5 weeks away

Join us on Sunday 26th November at the special time of 11am for a combined celebration service followed by a spit roast lunch. Plan to stay at church with the meal starting at 1pm, followed by all age fun, together… and a jumping castle!

We would love your help with organising this event, so please email the office or let us know via comment card if you are able to assist with the Spit Roast, and other activities.
