Sally Wingate, Poppy Organiser OCTOBER BRENT KNOLL NEWS 44 METHODIST CHURCH (www.brentknollmethodistchurch.com) Minister Revd. Steve Bennett At the time of writing, I have just returned from our Harvest Festival. The church looked wonderful and a big “thank you” goes out to everyone who helped decorate it. The greenery and foliage were all handpicked and most of the fresh produce home grown. We’d also like to say thank you to Chris Seger from Seger’s Fruit and Veg in Draycott who donated a box of fresh goods. All non-perishable donations will be sent to the Foodbank, as will the money raised from the sale of perishable produce. The fresh produce which was not taken, will be sent to the Healthy Living Centre on the Bournville in Weston. Our service was led by our own minister, Rev Steve Bennett and was both thought provoking and uplifting. After the service, we all shared a hot lunch, beautifully prepared by members of our congregation who again, we’d like to give our heartfelt thanks to for all their hard work. As mentioned in last month’s magazine, on the last Sunday of each month, we are having an informal time of fellowship enjoying cake, refreshments, singing and activities. We hope this will be a time where villagers of all ages, who may not be able to come to church on a Sunday morning, are able to come and join us at a different time. These times of fellowship will be following the themes of the season and this month, we shall be meeting on Sunday 27th October at 4pm in the school room. Do come along and enjoy the fun and fellowship. Margaret Trapp will continue to lead our ecumenical time of fellowship on the first Monday of each month. We shall meet up on Monday 7th October at 2.30pm in the church where this time together will be based on a Celtic theme. And again, all, of course, are welcome to join us. In the meantime, from all of us here at the Methodist Church, we wish you every blessing. God bless.

Our display boards are now showing new designs for this term, reflecting the Autumn season with children wrapped up warm enjoying the falling leaves and Teddy meeting a scarecrow in a field full of sunflowers. The children have been colouring some beautiful pictures on an Autumn theme, some of which were displayed in the Methodist Church for their Harvest Festival. Just a reminder: No Toddlers on Tuesday 29th October as it is half-term. Back on Tuesday 5th November.

The headline was ‘Our Promise to You’. It then said: ‘We are passionate about delivering a great service for you and are here to make travelling easier.’ It went on to spell out what that meant in these words: • Be visible and available to you when you need us.
