Ironstone Benefice Autumn and Harvest Craft Morning – Saturday Oct 8th

Please see details below of the craft morning taking place this Saturday for children age 8 and under at Drayton Village Hall. Please contact Revd Alicia Baker if you have children who would like to join in the creative fun!

We would also like to take this opportunity to let you know that the Ironstone Benefice is now on Facebook! You can find us by searching in Facebook for “Ironstone Benefice Oxfordshire”. The “Oxfordshire” is important: as many of you may be aware, there is another Ironstone Benefice in the North East of England!

We would be grateful for some likes so we have enough to set up an @ username. Many thanks!
