Getting Together...

Hi all, Some of you may have noticed that on our calendar we are due to meet at 16 Littlecote this Sunday! So it's a bring and share tea and a time to catch up and be together. We were to be focussing on inspirational books but this has changed to a just an informal get together with some time spent breaking bread and praying. We look forward to seeing you.

On another note, you will find in our links section Hannah's notes from her talk on worship a couple of weeks ago.

Also from October 4th - 6th John will be prayer walking through the Rother Valley. This an event which you can join in with in several different ways. You can click on the poster below to read all the details.

Change to original plan

Hi all, I hope your summers are going well. I need to remind you that our original plan for this Sunday has changed. We were due to meet at the youth club but with many people away we decided to make the party at Chris & Esthers ('Smitherfest') our gathering for this week. Sorry for any confusion!

The news...

• This Sunday
• We will meet at the Sylvia Beaufoy Youth Centre this Sunday at the usual time of 10:30. Hannah is going to share some perspectives on 'Worship - lifestyle worship in spirit and truth' and combine it with some prayer for the people she works with. It goes without saying there will be plenty of refreshments and time to catch up.
• Last Sunday(s)
• Thanks to Tony and Ruth for hosting a lovely BBQ last time we met. And going back another week thanks to everyone who spend time preparing and praying for Kids Club. Annie tells me it was another fantastic year with good numbers and a great impact on our community. Whilst we were setting up for Kids Club we also spent time praying for a youth programme I was engaged in at the time. I am happy to report that things were markedly better from the point we prayed and the rest of the programme went from strength to strength. So thank you!
• Autumn programme
• This Sunday we will also begin planning our next set of gatherings so please come with ideas, enthusiasm and your diary!
• Davids Tent
• During our review some of us expressed a desire to devote time to worship through music and prayer. David's Tent which takes place at Wiston Park from 29th August to 1st September is three days of non-stop worship, fellowship, food and fun. There is a charge for attending the whole weekend or for day passes. Have a look at the website for more www.davidstent.net
• Eunice's Garden
• Many thanks for everyone who has helped with our project to transform Eunice's garden over the past few weeks. It's looking great and we're nearly there!
• That's all for now. God bless!

Request from Anne

Hello all, Anne has been in touch and asked me to pass on the following request...

"I wonder if anyone has the time to help me? I have begun a draft of an EBook which I hope to publish on Amazon as a free download. This is based on my prayer drive last year. What I need is for another pair(s) of eyes to read through my drafts and criticize. The only thing that is necessary is the ability to receive files through email. Everyone has their own 'take' on what they read so all comments, whether on content, style or grammar, will be very welcome, I am not looking for professional editing! If you are willing to help please email me to let me know. annallfrey@hotmail.com. Blessings ..... Ann"

THANK YOU GROUND FORCE!

 A MASSIVE THANK YOU to all those who have helped this week to get Eunice's garden back under control.

Teamwork on the borders.

 Some of us have been over during the week and some of us spent the afternoon there today.  What a difference a few hours and a group of hard working people makes!  The garden is already looking so much better.

Having a go at "That Tree"

The children did their bit too.

There's still some work to do, such as putting up the shed and gravelling the front garden.  So far however, the garden looks AmAzInG!!!

Sandwiches for tea and a well earned break!

THANKYOU!!!!

What's on This Sunday.....

Hi all!  This Sunday we have a lovely walk planned over at Keyfox farm.  The plan is to meet at Ratford Cottages (opposite Keyfox) at 2.30pm, ready for a fairly easy walk around the farm fields.  We will then have a "Bring and Share" tea together at about 4pm at Chris and Esthers' House, 2 Ratford Cottages.

Please bring with you;

*  Your contrfibution towards the meal.  This will be one of usual salad, bread, quiche affairs, so anything you'd like to bring will be most welcome!  Drinks too!
*  Something to sit on in the garden - a rug or chair.
*  Your own crockery and cutlery and a plastic bag to take them home in.  This will make it a lot easier on our hosts!
* Suitable walking clothes and shoes.

Also, just to clarify....  the first Garden working party at Eunice's House will be NEXT Sunday, the 14th July at 2.30 pm.  This will give us all time to get home, have lunch and change after our morning meeting at the Sylvia Beaufouy.  Please bring any gardening tools you have, as Eunice doesn't have very much!  Once again - thank you on behalf of the Etheridge family for all your help in sorting out the garden - it is a huge blessing!
