CHURCH members enjoyed a barbecue in the sunshine.

Almost 200 families and friends attended the St Joseph's RC Church social event, which was held for parishioners to get to know each other better.

A bouncy castle, face painting, coconut shy and many other attractions were also on offer in the church grounds, in High Street, St Mary Cray.

Parishioner Sylvia Sobernheim, who helped organise the event, said: "We like to have a social event in the summer, it is a question between striking a balance between playing as well as praying."
