What we have been doing!
Harvest 2017 - goods donated to Hillingdon Food Bank.
CTE Christian Aid Week 2017 & Raffle - Once again several CTE churches helped collect money for Christian Aid and CTE also held a raffle for them. Major prizes included a food hamper, a "pamper" hamper and a cuddly toy. The raffle raised £222.
During Lent we organised Lent groups, bringing together people from our member churches to share and deepen their Faith through discussion and reflection. This year the groups followed the York course entitled "Receiving Christ in five different ways". The groups met in different churches, at different times during the week, to make them as accessible as possible for those taking part.

On Sunday 8th January 2017 Churches Together in Eastcote organised a "Follow the Star" event to mark Epiphany. A group of adults and children made a journey through Eastcote, following a star and visiting four of our member churches, where they enjoyed different activities.
Statues of the Three Kings were carried from church to church, finally finding their home in the crib at St Thomas More, where the journey concluded with a short service and refreshments for all. See photos (Right) provided by CTE. CTE plan to organise a similar event next year which will be advertised in Advent. |

The Big Sing this year was at St Thomas More church on Monday 12th December. Carols and Christmas Music followed by refreshments in the Parish Centre. A wonderfully festive evening, with songs, a poem and music from our various churches, a brief service, as well as plenty of carols. Retiring offerings were for the Passage (London).
Our PIRATE PANTOMIME AFTERNOON on Sunday 13th November went really well. Photo's may follow!
