‘Ramble Church'. On Sunday 27th August, as an alternative to the 'Songs of Praise' service, there will be an approx. 4 mile ramble with a short time of reflection. If you wish to participate, please meet at Rowel Bridge at 10:00am. Hilde.

Sierra Leone flood appeal. As many of you will know, on Monday 14th August there was an horrendous mudslide and flooding near Freetown, in the hillside area of Regent. Several hundreds of people have been confirmed dead and over 100 properties submerged. Help is desperately needed. The help we can immediately give is in offering our prayers and having a retiring collection. The monies collected will be channelled through Christian Aid, which Sue Bagshaw will organize. Thank you as always for your generous support. Church Stewards.

Mission in Britain. If you have a collection box or make an annual donation for mission work within Methodism, please see Neil or Hilde as soon as possible, as the amounts have to be sent in by the end of August. Thank you.

Overseas Missions. Please can you hand boxes in to Jill, as soon as possible. If you wish to make a donation, also please see Jill.

Macmillan Coffee Morning will be held in the church hall, on Saturday 9th September 10:30am-1:00pm. Bacon sandwiches will be on the menu and there will be Cake and Bring & Buy stalls. Please come along and support this very worthy cause. Pat S.
