Thought for the week
In the rush and noise of life, as you have intervals, step within yourself and be still, wait upon God and feel his good presence, this will carry you through your days business.
William Penn (1644 - 1718)

Advanced notice of December events.
On Saturday December 1st there will be a flower arranging demonstration ‘Floral Inspirations’ by Mary Western. She is a very well-known demonstrator and even if you are not an arranger yourself, the evening promises to be exciting and full of great ideas.
On Friday December 7th we are very privileged to have Nia who is a highly acclaimed Christian folk singer. She will be singing a wide range of songs including a Christmas selection.
On Friday December 14th there will be a concert by ‘One Accord’. The choir came earlier in the year and we were rather disappointed by audience numbers as they were one of the best mixed – voiced we have had. Please don’t miss out this time.
Book all the dates in your diary and make sure you view the posters for times and prices.
Thanks Tina
