We Remember: Elizabeth Holden, Brewis Powell, Daisy Fennemore, Amy Eades TODAY we will be celebrating aspects of Harvest in our prayers and our hymns and in the lunch which follows the service. Our readings today are not Harvest related readings so the sermon will be reflecting on the radical story of the rich man and the beggar at his gate.
NO TEA & COFFEE TODAY as the Harvest Lunch is being prepared after the Service.
THIS EVENING, join us for Evensong at 6:30 p.m.
CHURCH CLEANING This Wednesday (1st) from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (and every first Wednesday of the month). It is not too strenuous and the more who help, the better it will be. If you can spare an hour or two to help keep the Church clean and tidy for everyone who visits, it would be gratefully appreciated.
COFFEE MORNING This Thursday (2nd), 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. it is not religious-related, just a nice hour for meeting with others and socialising, and not forgetting the tea and cake.
FAMILY SUPPORT WORK FOOD BANK: Although the collection for F.S.W. is this week, they are still in need of a lot of the staples including: tinned vegetables, soup, jams & spreads, coffee & tea, tinned fruit, pasta sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise, biscuits and crisps, tinned meat and fish and cereal. Check everything you donate is in date and, please, no fresh or frozen items. You can leave donations in the church.
A NEW COURSE FROM NEXT MONTH. READING THE MYSTICS. This is a series of six meetings where we will be reading and discussing selections from a variety of mystical writers, from Julian of Norwich to Meister Eckhart. The aim is to become more familiar with the vision of the mystics, their sense of how God is present in all things and within us, the reality of love, how we can become present to God. The aim of the group is to create a place of informal discussion and reflection as to how we can all enrich and deepen our sense of the divine. Note: this will be held at St. Michael's Church, 7pm to 8:30pm, Thursdays. The first session is on Thursday the 30th of October. Please contact me if you'd like to receive the first set of readings.
