ANNOUNCEMENTS AND INFORMATION

NEW THIS WEEK:

ALL SOULS SERVICE 2^nd November 3 pm St Martin’s Church

If you would like to have a loved one remembered during the All-Souls Service, as we have done in the past, there is a list for you to enter their name. This is for anyone you wish to have their name remembered, not just for someone you have lost in the last year. Peter Gill

MURDER MYSTERY Saturday November 15^th

This is an appeal for anyone who would like to contribute a pudding to the meal being served at our Murder Mystery evening. The desserts are always popular for their variety and in being home-made. They are really a bit of a treat. We will need 9/10 desserts for our expected numbers, so if you have a favourite you could bring, please let me know.
If Murder is not your thing, contributing a pudding is a great way to support the evening.
We are also looking for donations for the raffle. All proceeds to St Martins. Thank you.

FOOTSTEPS We restarted ‘Footsteps Toddler Group’ on Monday 6^th October. We had 2 returning people and 1 new mother with her child – she noticed the advert that morning on Facebook! A good start. Many thanks to Glyn helping to set up and put away all the toys etc, and to Gill and Christine who helped with conversation and refreshments. Decorating the biscuits Christine made was a highlight. Please pray for continued blessings. Our next meeting is on the 20^th October.  Sarah Price
