Harvest Celebrations
At each of our churches on 4th October, as we celebrate Harvest, we will be collecting non-perishable items for the work of Street Foodbank.
Bereavement Cafe
A reminder that our monthly bereavement cafe meets today, Sunday 4th October between 3 and 4pm in the Mission Church. Open to all on the journey of grief. There are invitation cards in each of our churches for you to pass on, if you know someone recently bereaved who may value this.
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)
