We are so pleased to have you with us today at our Services. Some of you are
regulars, some of you come occasionally and some are visitors. Join us in our
worship and feel the warmth of our church. You are surrounded by friends.
As always we thank Rev Sue for leading both our Services last Sunday and to
Brian for his talk at the 9 am Service. Our Harvest Festival was so well
attended and the gifts plentiful. These have been delivered to a most grateful
Paddock Wood Food storehouse and will be used to help our local needy. THANK
YOU!
Also more thanks first to the Village Choir for leading our singing (Note – they
could do with more church members). They encouraged our large congregation to
sing out the Harvest Hymns. Secondly to our team of flower arrangers who made
our church even more beautiful and gave us so much pleasure.
This week is the first of the DISCUSSIONS organised by Angie in our church
hall. (Tuesday evening at 7.30pm) There will be some refreshment and lively
discussion on the REFUGEE situation in Europe
Please remember to get to work compiling shoe boxes of toys etc for Mary
Watts. You should have all the details. This has to be done in plenty of time
before the Christmas season so that the children who get them will know you
have thought of them and feel joyful!
Your help is very much needed by Erica who is organising the St Margaret's
Christmas Fair. She needs people to actually come up with and run stalls of any
kind. If not that people who will take over things like the tombola, raffle,
refreshments etc. It is to be held in the Social Club on Saturday 5th December.
Nearer the time the various stall holders will want donations of whatever goods
they are selling. Some things like Christmas wreaths and decoration take a time
to make so please start now. Has anyone any bright ideas about a major prize
for the raffle? There is a precedent set from last year's Father Christmas.
Please call Erica with your offers and ideas on 01892 730866 or mail her at
ericaandsteve@hotmail.com .
May we again remind you of the Service for lost loved ones and reflection. This
will be on Saturday 28th November. A lovely Service which will suit simply anyone
who is feeling grief, even from years ago. They don't have to be Church goers
or even believers – they will take so much from it. Personal invitations need to
be sent and we want you to give the team the name and address of any person
you know who might like to and benefit from attending. The team is Pauline,
Nick and Jane GP, Elizabeth, Pat and Kell. This is a further chance to add to
your outreach to our community.
NOTE- they are waiting as, so far, not too many names have been submitted.
May we again draw your attention to the notices displayed regarding the much
needed repair works at St Margaret's of the roof and drainage system. More
details are on the table at the rear of the church. If you have any questions
direct them to Richard Stubbins who is working so hard on this project.
We have been asked to remind you that one of the final stages of the Walking
with the Wounded 1000 mile Round Britain Walk by disabled servicemen will end
in Horsmonden at around 5 pm on Tuesday 27th October. Please keep this date
in your diary and watch for the posters and notices that will tell you of all that
is planned for this special day in our parish.
Pat extends her grateful thanks to all who contributed in all ways to the coffee
stall at the Farmers market on Friday. Delighted that £100 was raised for the
NSPCC charity.
Please do not forget that READY CALL – headed by Jenny D- is available to help
all in our community who need assistance. Please remind everyone that this
wonderful service is available. Also advise them of any new residents arriving in
our Parish so that they can deliver them a Welcome Pack
