Thought for the Day
God makes himself known in so many ways,
In the starshine of night
In the sunshine of days
In the voice of a friend when you pick up the phone
In a letter that comes when you’re feeling alone.
In the smile of a stranger you happen to meet,
In a cheery “Hello” that you hear on the street
In the peace of a church
In the depth of a prayer,
God makes himself known to us,
He’s everywhere

House Group Advance Notice
Peter Clarke will be leading a Bible Study on the theme ‘The Body of Christ’ on 8th, 15th, 22nd October at the House Group held at the home of Diane and John Parkin. Please book these dates in your diary.
All are welcome.
Everyone is welcome to our next meeting when we will have a demonstration of Blackwork with an opportunity to try for ourselves. Don’t know what Blackwork is? Why not come along and find out? If you don’t want to do any craft then you are welcome to just sit, watch and of course chat!
Linking our ‘Green Policy’ to ‘Craft & Chat’
We would love it if you can rummage through your unfinished projects of cross-stitch, tapestry etc so that others can finish them off to sell at the Christmas Fayre or on a coffee morning to raise funds for the church. We’d be recycling such projects while at the same time you may spot someone else’s unfinished project and fancy doing it!
Pass any on to any of our Craft & Chat Members

Our 150 boxes last year were part of 1.3 million sent from the U.K to children in the midst of wars, natural disasters and extreme poverty.
