Steve Bennett At the time of writing, we’re right in the middle of our preparations for our Harvest Festival on Sunday 24th September, which will be followed by a shared lunch. As the days get shorter, the nights draw in and the temperature drops, we’re going to be having hot homemade soups with fresh crusty bread and a cheeseboard to follow. The church is going to be decorated as befits the season and we hope that all who come will enjoy a wonderful time of fellowship and stay on to enjoy the homemade fare afterwards. As we’re preparing for this Autumn festival, Summer seems a long way away. But as promised last month, here are the details of monies raised for charity from our August coffee mornings: MS (a charity which helps those with Multiple Sclerosis) - £105: All We Can (a pioneering international development, relief and advocacy organisation) - £85: RNLI - £125: Weston Hospice - £100. Thank you to all of you for your generosity. Just as Summer seems a long way away, looking ahead, the same could be said about Christmas (although the shops don’t seem to think so as seasonal cards and family sized boxes of confectionery are already filling their shelves). We will be holding our Christmas coffee morning on Saturday 25th November at 10.30am, so please put the date in your diary and come and join us for festive refreshments and a time to catch up with village and church friends. Finishing on a very happy note, our congratulations go to Chris and Gill Poulter who, at the time of writing, will be celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. Chris and Gill have been part of our Methodist church family for many years - and got married in Victoria Methodist Church in Weston. Our love and best wishes go out to them both. Every blessing from all of us here at Brent Knoll Methodist Church. Rosemary Krull Preachers for October at 10.30am 1st October : Rev Margaret Trapp (Holy Communion) 8th October : Link Service @ Brean Methodist Church led by Rev Steve Bennett Please note there will be no service @ Brent Knoll this Sunday 15th October : Mrs Joyce Pipet 22nd October : Mr Chris Luker 29th October : Mrs Janice Barrett Toddlers It was a particularly exciting Summer for two of our toddlers, Monty and Dexter, with the arrival of their gorgeous baby brothers. We send our Congratulations to the Page-Walters family on the arrival of Darwin and to the Barkle family on the arrival of Kaleb and it was lovely to welcome them as new members of the group. We enjoyed seeing Caitlin who popped in on her way to her new school. Caitlin has been a delightful member of Toddlers for many years and she looked so smart in her uniform. Thank you to her Mummy and Granny for the delicious cakes and biscuits that they kindly brought in to share with everyone. We also saw some super pictures of Ava, another of our toddlers, in her uniform as she too has just started school. How grown up they both looked. We would also like to thank Vickie for the paints and play dough cutters - the children are having great fun using them. Just a reminder that there will be no Toddlers on Tuesday 24th October as it is half term. Back on Tuesday 31st October.
