MU Shoe Box Appeal
There are boxes at the back of the church at both Warwick
Road and Knights’ Meadow for gifts to be put into for the shoe
box appeal. We would like gifts such as:
Pens, pencils, rubbers, sharpeners, drawing paper, notebooks,
Small games, small teddies, soft toys, cars, balls, skipping ropes
Hats, gloves, scarves, hair bands, brushes and combs
Soap (sealed), flannel, tooth brushes (sealed), toothpaste,
This year we are aiming to put a ball or skipping rope in each
box because they encourage children to play together
This year it costs £3.00 to transport each shoe box so donations would also be very welcome. Last year we made well
over 100 shoe boxes so if you would like to make a donation
please pass it to Lynda Howells, Hazel Jackson or
Denise Coomber.
If you would like to help make up the shoe boxes we are doing
this on Wednesday 5th November in the morning from
10.30am to 12.00 and in the evening from 8.00pm to 10.00pm

Kenilworth Film Club
As you may know I have taken over the mantle
from Graham to organise some film nights, and
as the roadworks are becoming more manageable at the Arts Centre it's a good time to 'get
out more!'
I'm going to suggest some hopefully interesting
and diverse films along with dates, so if you are
keen to come along it would be a great help to email me
([email protected]) or text (07870 631 493) so I have an
idea on numbers and can confirm whether it's a starter.
Similarly there are some good 'mainstream' films coming up which
could require living dangerously and going as far afield as Leamington/
Coventry.
Remember this is a very 'low key' way to bring friends along and let
them realise that we haven't got two heads!
Equally, do come up with suggestions if there is something you particularly want to see, we can also look at purchasing DVDs and having
the odd 'at home' film evening with lashings of ginger beer.
Please send me your email address for circulation if you're interested
even if you were on Graham's previous list.
Thanks Tim Brewer
Coventry Cathedral seeks Chaplains for our visitors
Are you secure in your faith and ready to be an ambassador?
Are you a good listener, comfortable with sharing faith or
keeping silence? Do you enjoy meeting people from all
round the world and hearing something of their stories?
Are you discrete, able to respect boundaries and to work in
a team?
Are you committed to the core values of peace and reconciliation and interested in playing a part in living this ministry at our Cathedral Church?
If this sounds like you and you have some spare time on
your hands, why not become part of Coventry Cathedral’s
volunteer Chaplaincy team? We’re a group of Christians
from different churches and from well beyond the city
boundaries, who give a
few hours each month to
provide a ministry of welcome, prayer and listening to visitors. Training
and support is available.
To learn more contact
John Radford, Chaplaincy
team co-ordinator

or Revd Kathryn Fleming,
Canon Pastor at the Cathedral

Flyers with more detail about this event are at the
back of the Church. It’s well worth a visit (Denise)
Can you help to tackle Ebola in Sierra Leone?
Dear Friends
Today I received a call for help on behalf of SLWAAC
(Sierra Leone West Africa Association of Coventry). They are mobilising their contacts to start a relief effort in Sierra Leone, sending out donated
household cleaning products of all kinds. Apparently
such goods have disappeared from the shops and are
desperately needed. The immediate need is for a
space where they can receive and store donated
items, and box them up prior to despatching them.
If you have a space that could be made available to
this group, and for more information, please contact [email protected]
Once a space is available the next request is for all
kinds of cleaning products.
What a privilege to be invited to be actively involved
in tackling such an important issue.
Love from Sue Sampson

New Scout Group
A New Scout Group will be starting at St John’s in the near future.
The First ‘meeting’ will be on Monday 3rd November at 6pm in the Cavern
Stuart Heaton would like to make a request for some support from the Communities of St John's.
The Scouts need an Executive Committee and representation on this from St John's and a Group Scout Leader, basically a "manager" for the Group. This does not need to be anyone with scouting experience and is a relatively simple
role that does not necessarily involve working with the young people, but can!
If you are interested in helping out, please contact Stuart on 01926 512863 , 07764 269351,
