OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD If anyone would like to fill a shoebox for the Operation Christmas Child Appeal, shoeboxes and leaflets giving all the instructions and lists of what can and can't be included can be found in the foyer. Please bring shoeboxes back to church anytime and these will be dedicated on Sunday 16th November before we take them to the collection centre. Gail and Shirley COMFORT ZONE Thank you to everyone who supported our fund raising fair last Saturday. We raised over £500 plus a huge amount of tinned and packet food. We recently worked out our running costs. To provide hot meals each Monday and cold snack on Wednesdays for 100 needy people, and about 70 emergency food bags is currently costing us £500 plus huge numbers of tins every month. This means that our effort last Saturday will keep us going for almost a month. Quite a few of our community came along to help, just as they do down at Comfort Zone. It is great that they are starting to take ownership of their project The Teddy’s name is JO, and she is in the foyer awaiting collection by Mrs Frankland who guessed correctly. Thank you all again for your support.

Many thanks Sarah THE GREAT THORNTON 'CAKE OFF' Hopefully an event that will be perfect for both 'cake bakers' and 'cake eaters' alike! I am holding a fund raising evening in aid of a 'Compassionate Ministries' project in Africa on Saturday 22nd November. It will be cafe style where you are free to drop in from 6pm and stay as long as you wish (the results will be announced close to 9pm) So for those of you who may have been inspired by several series of 'The Great British Bake Off' and are currently mourning its ending why not bake a cake to enter this 'fun' competition? And those of you whose only expertise in cakes is eating them why not come along and judge other people's offerings? Tickets are £3.00 for adults and £1.50 for children, when bought in advance, or £3.50 for adults and £2.00 for children on the evening (an incentive to book early!) A ticket will entitle you to an evening of tea/coffee and lots of samples of cakes!! There will also be an opportunity to purchase cakes to take home. Please speak to me or text me if wanting a ticket or planning to enter a cake (there will also be a separate section for under 16s to enter) Wendy Reeds (07753 414930) EXPLORING PRAYER & DEEPENING SPIRITUALITY Circuit Prayer & Spirituality day on Saturday 1st November 12.30pm – 4pm at Poulton Methodist Church.
