NOTICES

Laurie Berris would like to thank everyone who came to his birthday celebrations last Sunday.

Thank you to Avril and Nigel for clearing the weeds from the pathway and from the front of the church.

The funeral service for the late Ralph Flutter will be on Tuesday 20th August at 2.30pm at Colchester Crematorium. There will be a wake at The Cricketers in Eight Ash Green from 3.30pm. The family extend their welcome to everyone who would like to join.

Harvest Festival will be celebrated on Sunday 15th September and we shall be collecting for the foodbank. They would love to receive bags of pasta or rice, long-life milk or juice, tinned fruit, tinned potatoes and toiletries or anything else you can donate – including money. Thank you to those who have already donated.

Christmas Giving – it has been suggested we give to ‘Link to Hope’ shoebox appeal this year. It is not necessary to fill a shoebox, although it makes it more personal if you can, there is a list of items you can provide for a family or an elderly person. We have some leaflets available and will provide more information soon.

Sunday Services on DVD – If you, or anyone you know, would like a copy of our Sunday morning service on DVD please speak with Geoff or one of the stewards.

Midweek Prayer Time – every Thursday. A short service of prayer and reflection. Everyone welcome.
