A slightly longer run than usual saw 8 Legends meet up at our HQ and begin our journey out to Broomfield and St Mary's church. Tonights task was to put woodchips down along a path between a hedge row and a fence running along the side of th church.

In no time at all we had reached the church and met Fay and Sallyann who had walked there and then we broke into 2 teams of 5.

With some shoveling into the wheelbarrows, some moving and tipping the chips and others raking the woodchips along the path, it would appear to the casual observer that this seemed to be a well oiled machine.... and that we know what we are doing.

So much so, that time flew by and we managed to get a great deal done before getting stuck into some well deserved biscuits and squash (I may have had more than one biscuit but who's counting).

With bellies full and satisfied with a job well done we set off and made our way back to base.

Next week we are back at St Johns church on Moulsham street ( if you fancy a shorter run).

Thanks all for coming

Run Happy

This task supported

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.
