Dear Friends

We have 6 candidates being Confirmed on Saturday 25th October at St Albans Cathedral. At our service at St James, High Wych this Sunday 26th October at 9.30 am we will be welcoming them into our church fellowship at the beginning of the service. I hope you can be there to encourage them and pray for them as they take this next step on their faith journey.

If you would like to pray for them, please pray for - Mitchell, Robyn, Tom, Jean, Bimla and Kiran.

Following on from that service we have our Family service at St Botolph’s at 11.15 am – all children welcome.

And then in the afternoon we are baptising Freya Holloway – I was able to baptise all the rest of Freya’s family before Freya was born. This is a lovely family who come and worship at our Messy Church.

Our church family is growing and expanding and I hope you feel as encouraged as I do.

Please continue to pray for our growth as we begin a very busy Autumn in our church.

I also attach the flyer for our All Souls Service that you can invite your friends to who have lost someone they loved. It is a beautiful and poignant service and will take place next Sunday at 4.00 pm, there will be a sign up sheet at the back of church to add names to – this will be removed after this weekend so that we can compile up-to-date lists.

We have a very busy November, full of community dog walks, extra services and a concert for some fun. Please take a note of all the Forthcoming Events on your notice sheet.

I hope I see you on Sunday, may God bless you whatever you are doing.

Every blessing

Alison
