Walton and Compton Dundon – 8th November
A reminder that the service at Walton tomorrow will be at 10.45am, not 9.15am and St Andrew’s is 10.30 not 10am.
Congratulations
The poppy display outside Holy Trinity Walton church really stands out. It has brought the local community and church members together in creating poppies. This reinforces the importance we see in Remembrance Sunday, forming a suitable backdrop for our outdoor service on Sunday. We all need to stop and remember and work for peace, that is just and lasting.
Thank you to all who contributed to this and the difference you have made. Revd David
Poppies
Thank you to everyone who knitted or crocheted poppies for our display at the Parish Church in Street. We appreciate your contribution and hope you will like the way in which we have chosen to display them. They will be on display for the Remembrance weekend until Remembrance Day.
What a night!
A huge thank you to those who had the vision to create this ‘Treats’ evening and welcome those who came in off the streets to celebrate Halloween in a different way. To all of you who made the outreach possible by volunteering to run stalls, and provide food, giving up your time, we want to celebrate what you did. The buzz and excitement in the Mission church was super. Children and adults were having fun. They felt welcome and the feedback I have had was really encouraging. People took away leaflets inviting them to our services, so hopefully seeds were planted. When I arrived, I was challenged by the statement ‘Have you found Jesus?’ This game involved sifting through sawdust to find a small figure of Jesus. Some deep theology was going on, perhaps I missed it!
You made a great team. Well done. Revd David
