'early warning' for Sunday November 10th
This is an early announcement. Sunday 10th of November is 'Remembrance Sunday' so the service will start at 10.45am which is earlier than normal.
This year we’ve been considering how
we might engage in the wider mission of God. As part of this we will welcome Andrew North on
November 10th at 10.45am. Andrew will be fresh off a
plane from Guinea
in W. Africa.
He has responsibility for all of BMS World Mission’s
projects in sub Saharan Africa. He’ll speak on
“Connecting with ‘The Mission
of God’ across Africa”. I hope it will
be the beginning of something new. If you’ve got a national
dress then we’d love you to wear it to church on this day.

Saturday Barn Dance
Saturday 19th October
We were royally entertained/tortured (depending on your opinion of dancing) by the 'Sow's Ear Barn Dance Band'. Everyone enjoyed themselves and left with smiles on their faces at the end of the evening (if a trifle exhausted). Connor continued to dance in the car ALL THE WAY HOME in his 'off tilt windmill' way.
Connor pointing out the band during a moments respite from being pushed around the various circle dances.
Hannah & Keith Lawrence leading the way, much the same as everyone else, in a slightly bemused 'are we peeling off left or right' sort of way.
Lucy and Penny 'in the swing' of things.
Mary had to put up with Eric but seemed to cope reasonably well.
The band were fantastic.
......and half way through the evening Keith couldn't refuse the invitation to sit out the prancing and let his fingers do the dancing by becoming the 'augmented fifth' player in the band.
So thanks 'Sow's Ear' for a thoroughly wonderful evening.
