The Building for the Future Fundraising Committee has been
working hard to devise a list of exciting events over the next few
months. These will start with a Gift Day on 30th November, and
then Gatton Community Theatre performing The Nativity, a
contemporary retelling of the original Christmas story, on 4th
January, 2015. Details of both will be found in the November
magazine and in Pews News. Tickets for the dramatised reading
will be on sale shortly. In addition to those publications, if you
would like to be kept informed of activities via email, please send
your email address to [email protected] to help us build a
mailing list, adding to those addresses we have received via
feedback forms. These will not be used for anything other than
fundraising related matters, but might prove a useful way of
helping you to spread the word about our project to friends
outside the church community.
Please send any contributions for Pews News to Anne Rueff at
[email protected] or phone on 762534, by 8.00pm on Wednesdays

Today’s anthems (at 10.30am) are “Christ has no body now but
yours”, a setting of the prayer of St Teresa of Avila (1515-82) set to
music by David Ogden (b. 1966), and “Go forth into the world in peace”,
a setting of the traditional blessing set to music by John Rutter (b.1945).
The anthems at 7.00pm are “Kyrie” by Jodie Page-Clark and “Love

Today’s voluntaries are (at 10.30am) Songs of Praise by Robert

A vacancy has arisen on our church cleaning rota. A volunteer is
required to fill the slot during the week before the second Sunday each
month. All materials and equipment are provided and the job can be
carried out at any time during that week when the church is not being
used. A current member of the team will guide any new recruits as to
what is required.
Please contact one of the wardens if you can help. Many thanks.
We need a third person to help prepare the bread and wine for the
10.30am service. Cover is needed on the 3rd Sunday of the month.
Margaret Davis or Janet Watson would work alongside you until you are
happy with the preparation. We also need at least one more person to
cover the 5th Sunday, holidays and sickness.
If you would like to join the team please speak to Janet or Margaret or
contact one of the church wardens.
Car Lift Service: There is a small team of people who give lifts, on a rota
basis, to those who would otherwise find it difficult to come to church
services and functions. We would welcome new members to this team. If
you feel that you may be able to help in this way please speak to Frances
Wood for more information (01737 233644 or [email protected]).
Thank you.
Harvest Flowers: Many thanks to those who gave their time and talents
to help decorate the church so beautifully for Harvest Festival and to
those who contributed to the cost of the flowers. Christine Siggs.
Stewardship Envelope Scheme: The current series of Stewardship
Envelopes (blue) ends today and the next series (yellow) will start on
Sunday 2nd November. Sets of the new envelopes are now available for
existing members of the scheme at the West end of the church. Please
take yours. John Walling: Stewardship Recorder.
Today is Nicholas’ last Sunday. There will be a special service at
7.00pm to which all are welcome. This will be followed by refreshments
so contributions of finger food would be most welcome. His licensing at
Burstow, Horne and Outwood will be at St Mary’s Horne at 7.30pm on
Monday 1st December. Further details nearer the time.
Songs of Praise today is at 4.15pm on BBC1. It is the first of the Big
Sing programmes from the Royal Albert Hall. Some members of the choir
took part and may be seen standing behind the Stage Choirs. The next
Big Sing will be broadcast on December 21st.
The next meeting of Afta8z is on Monday 3rd November, for sausage
sizzle and fireworks at 37 Ridgeway Road, Redhill at 8.00pm. All in

We will be meeting in church to pray for the new building project on
Monday 27th October between 6.00pm and 6.30pm. We hope many
people will be able to join us, but if you are not able to be in church
please join us in prayer between those times.

Earlswood. Please come and support the Scout group by having your
breakfast with us between 7.30am and 12.00pm. Thank you.

Welcare will be at 11.00am on Saturday 15th November at Southwark
