The Sound System at Wesley

Dear Friends, we need to address the gremlins in the sound system at Wesley and try and find a way forward that is sustainable. We have a Property Meeting on Monday 27th November where we will be looking at options. In the meantime, your feedback would be very useful. There will be a sheet available in the concourse at coffee after the service on Sunday and if you could record your difficulties in hearing that would be useful. Many blessings Rev Julia

My Feral Heart

At last my son-in-laws film is coming out on DVD on 27th November. It is available to pre order on Amazon for £12.00. It has won 14 awards so if you did not see it at the cinema this is your opportunity to see it for yourself and if you did you can watch it again. Thank you June Childs

Gordon Ladd

Gordon Ladd's funeral is to be held at the crematorium on Wednesday 29th November @ 12.20pm followed by a thanks giving service 1.30pm at Wesley. Janet and all the family look forward to seeing Wesley friends.

Ruby Lee

Like the buses helpful things come along together in twos. In this month's Clarion I put a notice about Ruby- lee's sponsored Wonder Wheels. However Steve Hockett has kindly agreed to do a sponsored run for the same purpose. Thanks Steve. You are invited to sponsor Steveto help Sarah Dawson to continue Ruby-lee'sphysiotherapy sessions, which are helping her progress. Sarah agreed that it would be better just to ask for sponsorship for one event. Sponsor forms are in the concourse - Eileen Simmons

Time for Healing

The next Time for Healing Prayer Group will be held on November 25th between 11.30am - 12.30pm. Meetings are typically attended by six to ten people with the majority often being from outside our usual church membership. The format usually includes prayers of thanksgiving and intercession, together with a short meditation on the theme of healing and occasional testimony. This is followed by the opportunity for private prayer with one or more of the group leaders. It is open to anyone, so please come and join us if you can, and give, receive, or just take much needed time out. Future meetings are planned for the following dates: Saturday 9th December , Saturday 20th January. We hope to see you there.

Affinity Meal and Auction

The meal and auction was greatly enjoyed by all those who attended on Thursday night and it was a wonderful fund raiser for the church.A BIG thank you to Rupert and Anna for theircommitmentandorganisation."
