In Flanders fields the poppies blow between the crosses, row on row, that mark our place; and in the sky the larks, still bravely singing, fly scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago, we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, loved, and were loved, and now we lie in Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: to you from failing hands we throw the torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders fields.
Christmas Leaflet drop: We want to invite as many of our community as possible to the events and services that are planned between now and Christmas. Please, please, if you are fit and able to take responsibility for a street, pick them up from the back of church and be sure to get them posted in good time for the first event which is Messy Church on 23rd November.
Christmas fair 7th December: Lots of us are working hard behind the scenes to ensure that this is a Fair to remember! There’s a list at the back if church listing the items needed for the luxury hamper raffle prize. Sandra and Carole are responsible for the ‘Mystery Gift’ stall for kids. If you are able to donate a new toy or a children’s book or game, they would be delighted for your support. And finally, as always bottles, chocolates, soft toys and gifts will also be gratefully received. The figure to beat this year is £3,500. : )
Saturday December 14th: After all the fun of the Fair, the following Saturday, you, your friends and family are invited to join a fabulous brass band for “Carols in the Courtyard” (Church car park), followed by mulled wine, a hot meal, mince pies and coffee in the Broadway Rooms. For catering purposes, please sign up at the back of church. We are hoping to cover our costs and maybe even raise a bit for the Tower Fund too, so we are suggesting a donation of about £8 per head.
100 Club Winners: Freda Wayman, Charles Evans, Tim Parker- Simms, Derek Warrington, Charles Colby, Alma Wright, Muriel Freestone, Gerald Mathias, Jillian Muir, Alan Newton, Laura Martin, Carol Newton, Alison Horabin and Paul Meekins. Thank you for supporting the Church in this way.
Please remember in your prayers: Archdeacon Mark Ireland, Jeff Chambers, Alf Fowler, Katie, Brian Brown, Mark Price, Debbie, Michael Carthy, Rev Jane Everett, Paul Sumner, Sandra Pratt, Michael, Chris Kelsall, Brian Morris and Elaine Clarke. And we remember Frank Latus, Frank Heald, Maurice Larsen and Terrance Wells and their families as funeral arrangements are being made.
