Room Hire Diary. In the vestry is a diary for church room hire and information of events occurring in church. Please do not write a request for a room booking before consulting with either Cliff or Stuart, as this can cause a duplication of rooms in use. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Elsie Pix wishes to be remembered to all her friends at Wisewood. Dorothy B.

The Methodist Conference 2016 unanimously passed a resolution calling for respect and tolerance in our national life in the wake of the divisive EU Referendum Campaign. It asked that a letter be sent to MP's and others in positions of leadership, via www.methodist.org.uk/nationallife which makes it easier, by automatically generating an email based on the postcode you give, addressing it to the correct MP. Alternatively, there is a link on the page to a Word document, if you prefer to send it via Royal Mail.

I would like to say a big thank you to the friends who kindly give me lifts to church. You are my lifeline! Words can not express how much I appreciate them. Thank you all again. Betty.

Methodist Prayer Handbook 2016/17. Pray with and for the worldwide family of the Methodist people. Order your copy of the new edition, today, from Dorothy B. The cost is £3.50.

Remember in your prayers all our brothers and sisters unable to attend our services, either through illness, presently or recently in hospital, housebound or in residential homes.

Prayer Group. The prayer group did not meet last weekend but have asked that you continue to pray for the people in the prayer book which is on the desk, in the porch.
