If you haven’t yet completed an Annual Income Survey form please could you do it today and place it in the sealed box at the back of church.

This year we will hold our service for All Souls on the afternoon of Sunday 4th November at 4 pm. This is a quiet and peaceful service where we remember those who were dear to us whom we see no more and light a candle for them.

Before the service there will be a list at the back of church on which you can add the names of those you would like to remember, and those names will be read out during the service. 

Many thanks for all your Harvest Donations, which have now been delivered. Watch the newsletters for more about how we can help people who are homeless or in need.
