*******************************

Dream Team Concert: Thank you to all who supported this charity concert in church on Saturday night. It was a super evening and good to see so many of the community turning out to support the Willow Garden Project. Massive thanks to David and Joanne who coordinated and hosted it on our behalf.

Messy Church: Will take place in the Broadway Rooms from 10.00 am to 12.30 pm, this Saturday. Crafts, puppets, worship and lunch. We always need lots of helpers to look after our guests so come along and we’ll be sure to find you a job.

Harvest festival: Next Sunday 15th October, please sign up at the back of church if you are joining us for lunch and if you are able to bring something to share at lunch, jot that down too. Donations of tins and dried foods are still being received, as are donations to the Bishop’s Harvest Appeal.

Father, as we celebrate this season of thanksgiving, we give thanks for the blessings

of food, provision and nourishment. Please grow in us a harvest for the world.

Come sow a seed of hope within our souls Lord, that we might yield

goodness, patience and kindness in abundance. Sow a seed of peace in our lives Lord,

that we might bear the fruits of forgiveness, compassion and righteousness.

Come sow a seed of love in our hearts Lord, that others would reap the blessings

of family, friendship and community.

May each seed of hope, peace and love grow within us into a harvest that can be feasted on by all. Amen.

McVitie’s: The long-awaited advert has now been released and has caused quite a bit of activity on social media and the Vicarage phone! If you haven’t managed to see it you can watch it on our website! Also why not take a look at the Boathouse Youth summer video which is now also on the website.

Please remember in your prayers: Peter Dell, Barry Ellis, Rev Jane Everitt, Rev Martin Keighley, John Richardson, Elizabeth King, Chris Kelsall, Michaela Jones, Mark Price, Rebekah, Colin Cook, Keith Shaw, Craig Abson and John Hawley. And the families of Jo Crosswell, Edna Jenkins, Emmi Rae Taylor, Arthur Armstrong and William Greene whose funerals are due to take place.
