Christian Aid Tea Time, Friday 19^th September 3.30pm – 6.00pm

On Friday, September 19th Christian Aid are having a giant Tea Time all over the country (and elsewhere). My contribution to this worthwhile cause is to host a Tea Party at 3, Eastbury Road from 3.30pm to 6.00pm, and I hope to have LOTS of guests to swell the donations. There will be tea, cakes and biscuits, plus cakes to buy (contributions gratefully accepted). I hope also to have a plant stall (again, contributions welcome). This event is open to anyone who is happy to put their hand in their pocket for Christian Aid, and their great work among the world's poorest. Do bring your friends and neighbours. Sally

Back to Church Sunday 28th September 2008

This is a national initiative that we are taking part in at St. Matthew's. The idea is that we all think of people who used to come to our church but have stopped for whatever reason and then we invite and welcome them to our service. We will be keeping Harvest Festival on 28th September so it should be a popular service. More details will follow but now we commend the day to your prayers. Fr. David

We will be giving out invitation cards for our 9.30am Harvest Festival Service on 28th September. We need your help please. Please can you give a card to someone you know who used to go to church but doesn't anymore for whatever reason. You'll see that the cards come in three sections. The idea is you give away two parts headed 'You are specially invited' and 'Friendly feedback' and retain the third part with the prayer and space for you to note the name of the person you have invited so you can pray for them. Please will you fill in the details on the invitation section. To help with planning please can you note their name and address on the list at the back of church. If you know several people do please ask for more cards or return the card if you can't think of anyone. Many thanks. Fr. David

Did you know Percy or Edith Fowler?

I received an email recently from J. Kenneth Wales in the USA. He writes, “I am looking for information on Percy Fowler a brother of my grandfather [Ernest Alexander Fowler] and a possible sister, Edith. Last known contact with them was in the mid 1960's and at that time; they were either in their 70's or 80's. They were living in Watford, possibly in and around Watford Heath.” Does this ring any bells? If so, contact me and I will pass on any information. Colin Richards

Spare Wool Wanted

An elderly lady who knits for various charities, such as Barnardo’s, Mencap and Feed the Children, wants wool.  Any ply and any colour is acceptable, and I should be willing to collect and deliver it.  Liz Edwards
