 Churches Together At Gala

The Shefford Gala on June 15th saw Shefford's Churches working together once again - this time with a Plate Smashing Stall!

Philip Vass (Shefford Baptists) informs us that a total of £102.80 was raised. The money is going to Christian Aid as part of their current Fair Trade Campaign


On a more serious note, the Churches also hosted a tent, nicknamed 'The Tent of Tranquility', where many visitors were surprised to learn how closely Shefford's four Churches work together on a wide range of events, projects and issues.

Run under the banner of 'Jesus -The Key To Life', the headline news was of the next in a regular series of 'Healing and Wholeness Services', to be hosted this time by St Francis Roman Catholic Church on Tuesday 1st July.
