We have a busy �me ahead of us in Sunday School and Youth

Fellowship, with lots to look forward to. Its been great to catch up

a er the holidays, but we have been missing a few of your smiling

faces. Please try and make �me for your Church family who want to

hear what’s new with you and spend some �me having fun together.

There are a few dates for your calendars and one or two requests.

Please take the �me to complete the return slip so we can make our

plans.

Over the next four Sundays we are re-vamping our display wall so it

might be an idea not to wear your bestest clothes! It was a collec�ve

decision to return to the story of Joseph that we shared last session.

We have been inspired by the Drama Club’s forthcoming produc�on

of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. We have already

made a start on Joseph, if you weren’t at Sunday School try and guess

who, from the church, we drew round!

Harvest Sweet Bags

Before the October holidays we hope to have made

up our Harvest bags of sweets for congrega�onal

members who can’t make it to church. In order to

do this could you please, as your Harvest

contribu�on, provide us with some individually

wrapped sweets? No chocolate thank you,

something like a bag of hard sooking swee�es. We

received lots of posi�ve feedback from this venture

and would like to reach out to our absent church

members again.
