Memory verse for the week commencing 8/10/07:

‘In my Father’s house are many rooms.  If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.’   John 14:2-3

Harvest Service

This morning we are having our annual Harvest Service!  All food and financial donations will be going to the Doorway Project in Chippenham.  Please take a moment to read the news release on the board at the back and in the hall next door.

Monique’s “Big Breakfast”!

Last year Monique organized a very successful breakfast morning to raise funds for a Ugandan orphanage.  This year she is trying to raise £12,000 for the feeding programme to ensure that the 101 aids’ orphans and 12 widows are fed for the next year. The breakfast will be held next Saturday, 13th October from 8.30am to 12 noon.  At the breakfast morning there will also be a cake stall and an “auction of promises”.  Please let Monique know if you can bake a cake/s or biscuits!  Come along & enjoy a breakfast with your friends and family.  There will be no charge for the breakfasts, but all donations will be welcomed.
