Celebrating older people!

Tomorrow, Friday there will be a special service at Southwell Minster at 2.45pm to celebrate older people and the service will be followed by afternoon tea. Funds are being raised to help children but we should treasure our older people too.
A barbecue was held last month to raise funds for the Toy Box Charity for street children overseas and £140 was raised. Everyone who attended enjoyed perfect weather that evening and had a good time with lots of good food. Many thanks to Colin and Brenda for arranging it.
Information about the annual Shoe Box Appeal is now available at the back of church. All you need is a shoe box to cover with Christmas wrapping paper and to fill it with small items to brighten a child's Christmas, who may not receive any other gifts.
The Abbot Club will be meeting tonight, 1st October at 8.00pm in the Nags Head Pub, and no doubt will be making last minute arrangements for their Canal Boat Trip on Saturday, 10th October.
Don't forget:
*Rempstone Church's Harvest Festival Service and tea at 3.00pm this Sunday.
*Sunday Sanctuary is back this Sunday too at 5.00pm in St Mary's Church.
