Friends of St Faith’s ‘Evening of Music’ On Page 3 of these notes is a poster advertising the musical evening being
run by the Friends of St Faith’s on Saturday 26th October at 7.00pm.
If you would like a ticket please buy it after this morning’s service, or
after the next two Parish Eucharists in October, or from the Church
Office. It looks to be a good evening of music performed by local people.
LIVE NATIVITY

Faith’s? It’s taking place on Sunday 8th December. Interested? Then please sign the list at the back of the Church on the Welcome Table. For further details please contact Mary Kells (01329 556 151 or [email protected]).

Grounds Tidy-Up - rescheduled to next
Saturday, 19th October We took the decision to cancel the grounds tidy-up
planned for yesterday, as the weather forecast was bad.
We have rescheduled for 9.30am next Saturday, 19th
October. If you are able to give some of your time it
would be greatly appreciated. Please bring your own tools, and
refreshments are bound to be provided.

Sermons Printed copies of Paul’s sermons on God,
Government, Politics and Brexit (from 15th
September) and “Does your bank account
show you are a Christian?” (from 22nd September) are available on the
Welcome Table in the church. They are also available to listen to on the
church website. If you haven’t read, or heard these sermons, please try to
do so.
In “Does your bank
account show you are a
Christian?”, Paul highlighted
that at present 50% of the
St Faith’s community
donate 90% of the giving to
the church. This means
that the other 50% only
give 10% of the giving.
We would like to even this up! Please do pray about your response. Stand-
ing Order and Parish Giving Scheme forms are available in the south porch.
Traidcraft Stall - Advent calendars Today, Advent calendars are now for sale on the
stall in the Bulson Hall. Please do not leave it too late to buy, or order. You can order on the sheet
on the welcome table.
Thank you, Cecily Parkinson
Our Vision and Values Today Paul will be speaking about the vision and values of our church. You’ll
find enclosed in your Weekly Notes a sheet for you to put up somewhere in
your house, to remind you of our vision - and of the values we want to have
as a church. Please put this sheet up, and pray that we can be the church
God calls us to be.
Our vision is to be a welcoming innovative Christian community
of all ages and all stages of faith, nurturing spiritual growth,
and representing God’s living presence in our town.

We long to live to the glory of your name under the shelter and guidance of
the Lord Jesus in expectation of the great day which shall fulfil all promises
made to us. Strengthen us, especially in dark and troubled days. Help us
when danger threatens and when evil tries to make headway among us.
Deliver us from all evil, for yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory for
ever and ever. Amen.

God of Mission, who alone brings growth to your Church,
Send your Holy Spirit to give vision to our planning,
