Well no one can say we haven’t had a good summer with non stop sunshine for months on end. Now we are all back from holidays and children start school for a new year, we move into the autumn schedule with busy weeks ahead. This Sunday there is a benefice communion service at St Britius at 10.30 so if you can spare the time do go along for worship and fellowship with our friends from Brize and Carterton.
The Film Club starts it’s new season on 4th September at 7.p.m. with a showing of ‘Annie Hall’ – have a read about this film in the Film Club section.
The weekend after the fete we have the Ride and Stride which takes place on Saturday 13th throughout the day but this also coincides with the Gardening Club coffee morning so it will be a lovely day of saying hello to our local neighbours as well as those from a bit further afield. Nikki is helping to organise so let her know if you are free to do an hour in the front porch.
I am pleased to say that the porch roof has been replaced and looks fantastic. We have also had some pointing done to the porch walls and will continue to work our way around the main body of the church as and when finances allow.
Work on refurbishing the path starts soon.
For those of you who would like to learn more about the bible and what it tells us, we start our autumn session of Bible Study on Tues 16th Sept at 5.30 at my house alternating weekly at Jeremy’s. These sessions are very informal and you can join in as much or as little as you want to, but it’s interesting to hear how the scriptures written thousands of years ago have so much relevance in our modern day life.
Normal services are Holy Communion on 14th Sept 10.30 a.m. and Evensong on 28th Sept 6 p.m. and we’ll be holding Harvest Festival in October as usual, more details next month.
