In June, the PCC agreed to a new service pattern, starting on Sunday 14th October.

Once a month, on the second Sunday, (except for those four months when we have Mothering Sunday, Fathers’ Day, Harvest, and Remembrance Sunday), for a trial period of 18 months, there would be a different format to the 10 am Communion Service.

Part 1  a free standing, themed Service of the Word; (35minutes)

Part 2  the Peace and coffee (25mins);

Part 3 celebration of Holy Communion, including a 3 minute sermon(30 mins)

So, on Sunday October 14th, come to any or all of:

10:00 Explore the theme: Wealth

10:35 Coffee in the hall – meet and talk

11:00-11:30 Holy Communion

We have received the ‘AUTUMN’ leaflets to be delivered throughout the Parish, advertising Harvest and Back to Church Sunday.

This is very worthwhile – we do get positive feedback from people throughout the Parish.

Please will you take a road (or three) and deliver them as soon as possible.

They are in Church from this coming Sunday and I have a supply here at 24 Stratford Road.

Thank you – a Big THANK YOU

We’ve been asked by a member of our church to publicise this event.

She says ” It should be a really interesting talk – the speaker is the Regius Professor of Divinity, Cambridge – and has some really interesting perspectives from the little I’ve read – beyond the pro vs anti gay stuff, looking at the issues as a whole.”

There are wine and nibbles as well as theology!
