SEPTEMBER THE MONTH OF HOSPITALITY 

Invitation is the first step in offering hospitality. Our diocesan vision is; ‘to grow in Christ, into the fullness of human life and invite others to go with us on the journey.’ It all starts with an invitation. The month of hospitality is designed to offer opportunities for us to invite people to church, to events run by the church and to invite people to share our homes and our table. As a parish we have created a few events to help this to happen but we would also encourage everyone to take this opportunity to invite people to share the joy of fellowship with you in whatever way seems most appropriate and accessible.

MISSION NEWS:

The Winter edition of the Mission Aviation Fellowship [M.A.F.) has arrived full of interesting information as usual. Once again they are asking for donations towards fuel to keep them flying their life saving missions. You may remember we gathered money for jerry cans of fuel as a Father's Day gift last year. How many jerry cans can we fill this year? .Any donation is welcome; rivets, tools, windsocks, all help keep the planes in the air. During August we will have a retiring collection for M.A.F. on the Mission table. Can you help?
