Clergy and church members from across the Thurrock Deanery came together at the Orsett Show on Saturday September 3rd to promote the work of the church in the borough.

The Deanery tents offered a range of free refreshments and activities for children; glitter tattoos, plate decorating, biscuit decorating and colouring, which were thoroughly engaged in and enjoyed.

There was opportunity for people to speak to those present from the Deanery and those who wished, a quiet space for prayer or reflection.

The Deanery also played host to Thurrock Food Bank who were raising funds and raising awareness of their work.
