There will be a working party this Saturday, at Thornton churchyard from 10 until 12 noon.

The churchyard and graves in the old churchyard need a good tidy.  Saplings removed, boundary tidying.

All sorts really.

If you can join us even for short while that would be great.

Please bring whatever tools you think you might need, stout gardening gloves and a drink.

Thank you (in anticipation)

Shirley (Churchwarden)

Our next film at BVH is ‘Emily’ – rebel and misfit Emily Bronte finds her voice and writes Wuthering Heights, the classic tale of undying love and tormented passion.

Specials Valentine’s night date offer – 2 tickets for £10! 👏👏

Hope some from Thornton can make it.

Bring your Little Angels for an hour of fun!

Are you a parent, grandparent or carer of a baby, toddler or pre-school child? 

And are you and your child/children free between 2pm and 3pm on the first Thursday of the month during term-time? 

If so, we would really love to see you at our Little Angels group which meets at St Peter’s Church, Thornton.

Little Angels is a group for the benefice of Markfield, Thornton, Bagworth, Stanton and Copt Oak, but anyone is welcome to join us!

The afternoon sessions are very friendly and informal – we have a short “worship” time, consisting of children’s Christian choruses, nursery rhymes, a Bible story and prayer, all with the simple message of God’s love for us all, and then we have time for the children to play and for the adults to chat and get to know each other. 

Juice and biscuits are available for the children, and tea and coffee (and biscuits!) for adults.

There is no charge for these sessions. 

Lis and Helen have enhanced DBS clearance and have undertaken Diocesan Safeguarding training.

Meetings for the spring and summer terms will be on March 2^nd, May 4^th, June 1^st and July 6^th.  Please do come!

“I have been bringing my daughter to Little Angels since she was 5 months old.  It’s a very welcoming group with singing, story time and free play, and has been a great way for us to meet other parents/grandparents in the village” – Rachel.

“A friendly space to meet other local people with pre-school age children.” – Hannah.

“A great way for children to meet and adults to natter! Bring your little angels for an hour of fun!” – Debbie.
