All Saints’ Patronal Festival Lunch
Sunday, 2nd November
All Saints’ Church Hall, 12.00 noon
This lunch is planned to celebrate the end of our centenary year as
well as our Patronal Festival. People from all churches are very welcome.
Tickets cost £10 and are available from Paddy Hague (01753 883384) or
Meriel Garnham (01753 883360).
Parish Toddler Group
Every Wednesday (except the first Wed of the month which is the
Fairtrade Coffee Morning) we are opening our doors to
anyone with pre-school aged children to come to play,
sing and learn. We run from 10.00am until 11.30am
during term time. Our wonderful team will be ready with refreshments,
crafts, songs and some great games and stories.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Driver Co-ordinator Required
Corner
We would like to find a person who could co-ordinate lifts to
and from church for those who do not drive. If you think you
could help, please contact the Parish Office. We will also be
looking for volunteer drivers.
Office/Church Welcomers Needed!
To help with the smooth running of the Parish Office we would like people to come
forward to volunteer to sit in reception for one morning a week. This role would be to
welcome visitors to the Church, handle tradespeople, answer the telephone and deal
with simple enquiries. If you are able to volunteer for just a couple of hours a week
you will be helping with your church in the community. Please contact the Parish
Office or a member of clergy in the first instance.
St Nicholas Christmas Fayre, 5th December
and
Christmas Tree Extravaganza 5-6th Dec
Yes, we are only a few weeks away from this annual event and we need to you start
looking through your drawers and cupboards and donating all your unwanted gifts,
bric a brac and items to make up our very successful basket table. There will be a full
list available for next week’s pew sheet but we need mugs and baskets, tins of
wrapped sweets (eg Quality Street or Roses), children’s tombola items, quality raffle
prizes and bottles of any sort (alcohol, soft drinks, pasta sauces or tomato sauce, in
fact, anything that comes in a bottle) for the hugely success bottle stall.
Finally, put the date in your diary and come along and help on the night – or if you
can’t manage that, can you spare some time in the week prior to help sort,
pack and label items. Speak to Sandra in the church office about any of the above
items – 01753 880067.
Is God calling you?
If you are thinking of ordination come
along to Soul Survivor in Watford on
Saturday, 25th October between
10.00am and 5.00pm. Speakers from
St John’s Nottingham,
St Melitus and others. For
more details contact the
church office.
Chilterns Prayer Breakfast
This will be held at St James Centre on
Monday, 20th October starting at 7.30am.
The Rt Hon Dominic Grieve QC MP will
be talking on ‘War and Peace – The
Christian View’. For those who can stay
this will be followed by a seminar,
questions and prayer group.
Call into the Parish Office for an
application form.
