St Mark’s is all lit up for the Farnham Lantern Festival
On Thursday evening (All Hallows Eve, aka Hallowe’en) we are taking part in the Farnham Lantern Festival which Farnham Townn Council is putting on to mark the end of Farnham Craft Month. We’ve been making lanterns but we weren’t expecting anything as amazing as this one made by Jacqui Searle. St Mark’s Church as you have never seen it before.
The Lantern Festival will begin with music, food and a bar in Gostrey Meadow from 5pm. Anyone with a lantern is asked to be there by 6pm and the procession will start at 6.30pm and go to St Andrew’s Church, where the lanterns will be displayed as a large-scale communal craft endeavour.
Hope to see you there!
Pet Service
All God’s creatures got a place in the choir
It’s time to bring your dogs, cats (maybe not), guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, geckos, pet spiders, snakes, stick insects and any other animals you have living at home to church for our annual pet services.
Pets are a wonderful blessing to many of us and can help our mental and
physical health. So let’s give thanks for them in all their shapes and sizes and bring them for a blessing at St John’s and St Mark’s on October 6th at 9.30am and 11am respectively. If your pet is too large or too nervous to come to church, you can bring a picture of them instead. And if you don’t have a pet, why not bring a favourite soft toy instead? Or dress up as an animal? After all, all God’s creatures got a place in the choir!
