Come and join us to celebrate the diversity of our Church and local community at our Parish International Day with a special Sunday Service at 10:30am followed by a shared meal in the Church Centre with dishes from our Congregation Members' home countries!
[Meal is a minimum donation of £3 per person which includes food and entry into our Raffle. 16s-and-under eat free.]

Everyone is invited to join us for this special day of celebrations!

We'll begin at 10:30am for a Sunday Eucharist
featuring special guest musicians.

Then we'll enjoy a buffet lunch together in the Church Centre which will include favourite dishes from around the world prepared by our congregation members!

This will be a great event where we can all get to know one another better, enjoy some delicious food and raise some much-needed funds for Church while we do!

A message from our organiser, David:

We at St. Cross Church, Clayton, invite you to join us in celebrating our International Day.
 
St. Cross Church was consecrated in 1866 and since then has been a great icon of this community for over 150 years, bringing spiritual endowment and replenishment to this Clayton parish. We revel in our rich heritage and are even prouder to welcome and recognise the cultural diversity now existing in our communities.
 
St. Cross is a place where children are safe and are supported and encouraged to grow and flourish in the family of God. Our community is energised and we have fun through happy, exciting, worship and praise, whilst we, as disciples of our Lord, strive to be good shepherds to His flock in the community.
 
We therefore assist and encourage spiritual growth of our members within the broader Church of England in their vocation and calling. We celebrate God's generosity through our Foodbank, helping care for our neighbours in need of extra help, also providing excellent pastoral care for one another. Recently we opened our church's Saturday Cafe bringing people closer together and to raise necessary funds for our church's improvement.
 
Therefore we call on everyone to join us to celebrate and give praise to our Lord on Sunday 6th October 2019 in the morning worship to mark our own International Day. Come and join us and share the Good News with everyone.
 
Thank you and God bless.
