Tuesday Morning Coffee and Cake
Tuesday morning’s Coffee and Cake sessions are in the Thomas Field Hall – Tuesdays from 10.30am to 12 noon. Any enquiries to Hilary Catchpole at h.catchpole@btinternet.com .
Service of Prayer & Reflection
There will be a service of Prayer & Reflection for Peace, Justice and Reconciliation in the World on Sunday 9th November at 6pm. All welcome.
Cafe Church on Sunday 17th November
There will be a special community-themed Cafe Church on Sunday 17th November at 9am at which Roger Bolton will give an introduction to his new book about the LG Churchyard and its graves, including those of a witch, a spy and the sister of a German officer who tried to blow up Hitler. Roger will be leading a short tour of the churchyard after the service. Copies of the book will be available at a price of £10. All profits will go to the church.
British Humanitarian Aid Gift Service
Following his latest trip to the Ukraine Philip Edmonds will be spending a brief spell in the UK before going back once again to take more of our donated items in time for Christmas. We have arranged with Philip to come to Little Gaddesden for the 9.00am Service on the 8th December which is our annual ‘gift service’; he will collect all the much-needed items we are able to give. Please take this opportunity to give generously to those in desperate need in the Ukraine, suffering major hardship as the result of Russian aggression. Philip will be attending our Church service on the 8th and will have his van parked by the church for us to load our donations; if you are willing to help by bringing your donations to church on the morning of the 8th that will be great, but if easier for you to bring things to church in advance, then you can leave them by the font in the day or two prior to the Sunday. Anything you donate should be bagged robustly and clearly labelled identifying the content, for example bed linen, adult ladies’ clothing, adult men’s clothing, children’s clothing etc. Further details will follow so do look out for any up-dates and put the date in your diary.
Midweek Discussion Group
The Midweek Discussion Group meets on Wednesday evenings.
Please contact Barbara Sheard at barbara@sheard.com with any questions.
