On a cool evening 6 of us met outside the Old Factory Gym and set off towards St Mary's church in Broomfield.
Tonights task was to help them with some gardening and clearing some paving and walls.
Running at prime chatting pace we were soon there and met by Fay, David, Laurie and Sallyann already hard at work.
Martin, Ben and Joe quickly got to work raking and turning the soil by the church while Erin and Andy joined David scrubbing weeds and soil off the boundary wall. Although Erin got a great bit of 'mansplaining' of how she should being doing it by a passerby, lol. This was quickly put to rest by the fabulous group of gardening volunteers asking that we don't do as the passerby had said. (double lol)
With things packed away we were invited inside for drink and biscuits ( thank you ), then the runners were off back to base, and again at prime chatty pace we were soon back.
Well done all and hope to see you next week for some leafleting
Run Happy

ECO CHURCH!
The Parish Church of Broomfield is a lively and welcoming church community. There has been worship in this place for many centuries and we are proud of our ancient historic building with its stunning round tower, beautiful peal of bells and extensive church yard. Alongside the history however we are a vibrant worshipping community. All are made to feel welcome whether you attend regularly or if you are just visiting. Our worship is broad ranging from quiet Holy Communion services based on the Book of Common Prayer to lively and loud family services with Puppet ministry and instruments for the kids... and everything in between. We hope that you would like to come and join us as we seek to engage with God in a very real and dynamic way today.
