ST MARY’S & ALL SAINTS NEWS 1st October

TRINITY 16 Welcome to our service today! We meet in the

name of Jesus Christ to celebrate what he has

done for us, to listen to the word of God and to

speak to God in prayer. Children are welcome

at all of our services! At the 10.30, when it’s not

an all-age service, there is a crèche called

Scramblers (0-3), Explorers (4-7) and

Pathfinders (8+). Listen out for

announcements about refreshments served

after the service.

Calling all First-Aiders! We’re looking to find out who amongst us has up-to-date first aid training, so as to be able to know who to call on if there’s an emergency during a service. If you think this is you, please speak to James Tazzyman.

All Souls Service, Nov 2nd at 6.30pm A service to remember those we love but see no longer. Come and light a candle in memory of a loved one.

We’ve been asked to help with the school bonfire night on Friday 3rd Nov at the Three Tuns by providing a team of strong people to manage the big bonfire (yes, what a great job!). If you’d like to help, speak to Ben or James.

Brass cleaners needed!!! I have recently taken over the brass cleaning rota which Mrs Sheila Waldron has done for many years, but has had to give up due to ill health (thank you Sheila and we wish you well) I have contacted previous helpers who have kindly agreed to help but still have 3 months to cover Dec, Jan, Feb. It involves at the most one hours work once a year. Cloths gloves and Brasso are provided. If you feel able to help please contact me (Maggie Webb on 01425672608 or email crowland.9@btinternet.co.uk ) Many thanks, Maggie
