Messy Church at Paignton is a very popular activity aimed at primary age
children and their families. We start with a communal light breakfast at
9.30am in the downstairs Cross Link Centre. At around 10.00am we go
upstairs to the Activity Hall for several craft activities on the day’ s theme.
At around 10.45am we join together for a short service including songs, a
story, a Big Question, and a memory verse. We finish at around 11.10
pm.

Paignton Community Larder
Donations can be handed in at services or prayer meetings, or any other time if you have a church key. Those without church keys are invited to pass items in between 12 noon and 2 pm, Mondays to Thursdays at the PCL. Items will be delivered to the Larder first thing on Monday mornings. All contributions are gratefully received.
Thank you for the donations we delivered this morning (18/11).
Stocks of cereals are still high and therefore not requested. However, the PCL have asked for the following items this week: baked beans, couscous, Pasta ‘N’ Sauce, savoury rice, tinned meat (of all kinds), tinned spaghetti, UHT milk and toiletries especially feminine hygiene products.
Please donate as you are led
Cash Donations
Please note that the church is being charged for cash banking when this exceeds £2000 per month (which is nearly all months). All the amount is charged for, including the first £2000. The bank also charge for cheques in a similar way, but we receive fewer of these, so cheques instead of cash would be welcome. However, all donations, by whatever method, are very much appreciated. (On-line transfer or standing order direct to the bank do not attract any charge.) Please ask about Gift Aid, or to receive details of the church's bank account.
