This time of year is traditionally a season when we remember those we love but are no longer with us. You are welcome to join us at a remembrance and thanksgiving service where you can light a candle for the loved ones you are remembering.

If you missed the launch you can find out more by watching the Youtube of the service on October 15. Carol’s sermon is at 25:35 and Richard’s introduction at 1:08:30.Please ask Richard or Carol or Hilary  Hollick for more information and an invitation to our Taster session with puddings and wine at 7pm on Wednesday 15th November. To help with catering please rsvp for the taster evening to Hilary on hj.hollick@gmail.com or phone on 07712 791625. We hope you will be joining us!

Claire Faces Her Fears
Claire Banham will be coming to give us an update on her work with The Haven at our 10am service on Sunday 29th October.  But before then, you might like to support her Face Your Fears Challenge to raise much-needed funds for the organisation’s work to support young people’s mental health.  Last Saturday Claire stepped off the 40m high roof of Tottenham Hotspur’s Stadium (a safety harness was provided!)  She says “I have worked hard in recent years to overcome my fear of heights but this was still a massive challenge! I was very grateful to get back down to earth at the end.”  Despite already reaching her original target, Claire is still hoping to raise further funds for The Haven.  You can sponsor her and encourage her work here.
