Margaret 4 METHODIST CHURCH (www.brentknollmethodistchurch.com) Minister Revd. Margaret Trapp At the time of writing, we are preparing a service of thanksgiving for the life of Joan Latham who sadly passed at the beginning of October. Joan was our organist here at Brent Knoll for over 15 years and was an absolute gift to our church. An exceedingly accomplished musician, Joan not only played the organ with aplomb, but led and guided us in each and every hymn she accompanied - and always with a sharp witted sense of humour. When she retired from playing two years ago, we felt quite lost without her. And if truth be told, we still do. She was a close member of our church family and will be very much missed. And at our service, we will give heartfelt thanks for Joan’s life. Our Emmaus course will continue on Thursday 6th November and our monthly bible study will be held on Monday 24th November. Both of these will begin at 2.30pm and be followed by refreshments. As always, all are welcome. Another date for your diaries - our Christmas coffee morning will be held on Saturday 29th November at 10.30am. As well as an opportunity to share time with our village friends over a coffee, there will, of course be a plentiful supply of mince pies as befits the season. God bless.
