SWCD Book Group
We meet again on Tuesday 6th October at 11 am at the Mission Church to discuss The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. You are welcome to join us whether you have read the book or not to find out what others thought of it. Thank you to those who have suggested books for next year; there is still time to add to the list. Susan Ripley (Parish)
Knitted or Crocheted Poppies
We are hoping to enhance the display for Remembrance Sunday at the Parish Church in Street and Holy Trinity Walton. Could you knit poppies for us? We are requesting mainly red but would also welcome some white, purple or black poppies. Patterns are available on the internet. Please ask if you would like a printed copy. If possible we would like to receive the poppies by Saturday 31st October. Susan Ripley (Parish) and Sandra Gristock (Walton)
Thanks
Thank you so much, from my family and I, for all who came to Ana's funeral service. Please continue to hold us in your prayers in the days and weeks to come. At the funeral, a collection was taken to support the work amongst children and young people at SWCD Churches and you can still donate online or via the office. (Sonia will update you with the final figure when it has been calculated). If you want to contact me, please now use my email lawrencekv@aol.com or mobile 07841 108378. Kevin Lawrence
Congratulations
To Will and Charlene Bernard (Mission Church) on the arrival of baby Teddy, a brother for Max and Tilly.

For the safe return of a lost locket and wedding ring (Street). If found, please contact the church office, thank you.
