Dear Friends

Welcome to you if this is the first time you have received our Welcome sheet and readings for this Sunday.

Hopefully, you will see it is full of all that you will need to worship with us, pray with us and join in the fun things we do also.

I am attaching a new poster for Debbie’s organ recital which now has the correct link and QR code if you want to book tickets online. You can turn up on the evening and ‘pay on the door’ though if you find online things too complicated to manage.

As we are in August, this is a quieter time for us now as we develop and organise all things to do with the Scarecrow Festival, and the many ministries that will begin again in September. Some things have carried on throughout the summer and last week we had our August Wednesday Welcome complete with ice creams and singalong holiday songs and Edie’s famous quiz! If you know someone who would like to come along to Wednesday Welcome, bring them with you, or let us know if we need to organise a lift.

If you want to get more involved with the Scarecrow Festival just give me a ring and we will be able to help you join in with the fun.

Today I have just finished off a Youth Alpha course with a young lady who is going to be baptised in a couple of weeks. Please encourage her if you see her in the church. Earlier this week I also finished off the adult Alpha course. I will be running this again so let me know if you or a friend of yours would like to do the next one.

This Sunday we have one service at 9.30 (this is a communion service) that is taking place at St James, High Wych.

I hope to see you at the service or around in the parish and don’t forget I am always around at the end of the phone or on e-mail.

Every blessing

Alison
