We will shortly be starting on our annual Committed Giving renewal campaign and individually addressed envelopes are available at the back of church

lives near to you. Thanks to Chris Sherman for all his hard work in preparing all
this and sending the vital information back to HMRC to enable us to benefit
from Gift Aid.
The Season of Remembrance will soon be with us, particularly poignant as we
think about the first year of World War One. The All Souls Service of Remembrance and Thanksgiving will be held on Sunday 2nd November at 3.00pm
and for those who come to that Service there will be an opportunity for the
names of people they are remembering to be read out, along with those whose
funerals have taken place during the last 12 months.
Letters of Invitation to the All Souls Memorial Service to the next of kin of
the people whose funerals have been held during the last 12 months have been
sent out but there are still a few to be delivered. PLEASE PICK UP those
addressed to a road near you and deliver this week if possible. Do encourage
anyone you know who would like to remember a loved one to come to this
Service.
And the important season of Advent, leading to Christmas will then follow.
The Town Christmas Lights switch on is Saturday 29th November when we will
be holding our popular family St Nicholas’ Workshop.

Tower Fund and Stone Sponsorship. If you take a walk around the base of the
tower you will spot some of the new stones being used in the reconstruction of the
South West buttress. Each is coded according to its designated place and eventually
the sponsors of each stone will receive a certificate identifying their area of sponsorship. There is also a model underneath the display board in Church.
This week’s Coffee Morning raised £149.50 for Church Funds. Thanks to all
helpers and supporters.
There is a small team of stone masons working on the project and during weekdays
their tapping can be clearly heard. There are still areas of repair to be sponsored,
with our shortfall now reduced to £12,500. So please, if you haven’t already sponsored a stone, please join with the townspeople and local community in ensuring
that this project can be completed by mid December. Leaflets and forms are a
available in Church.
The Children’s Society Christmas Card Catalogues can be found on the table
near the Vestry. Margaret Bane is glad to take orders to save individual postage
costs. Contact her after the 10am service or on 01692 403758. Or at the Coffee
