St Paul’s Big Draw will be a big draw

A weekend devoted to making art will help a church mark its 150th birthday.

St Paul’s in Reading Road is gearing up for The Big Draw on Saturday, October 18.

Using the theme It’s Our World visitors will be able to draw on inspiration from the rich architectural heritage of the church, with a series of fun drawing and mark-making workshops throughout the day including, Vestments on View, Art Angels, Leaded Lights, Rusticated Rubbings and more.

In the evening there will be a barn dance in the church’s Parish Rooms. Tickets cost £8, under 16s are £4 and families are £22.

The following day, the church holds a special anniversary and Harvest lunch from noon. This will be followed by a baptism service at 2.30pm.

Sunday will be rounded off with a 2014 Choral Evensong with guest preacher, The Venerable Olivia Graham, Archdeacon of Berkshire, at 6pm.
