Would all, adults and children, who would like to be in our next panto come to church on Sunday October 3rd and 10th, at 2pm. We are to have a Sing Along of all the songs. After which the dates for the chorus rehearsals, both adults and children, will be on Sundays in the hall, starting Nov 7th at 2pm.
The extra principal’s rehearsals will be on Fridays, starting Oct 8th. In Oct these will be in church thereafter in the Hall. Try to make these dates especially the Sing Along as there is a lot of chorus work, especially this time for the children.


Macmillan Coffee Morning
" Heidi Moxam would like to say a hugh thank you to everybody who made her Macmillan World’s Biggest Coffee and Cake morning such a success. We managed to raise £274.59 on the morning itself and a subsequent cake sale on Sunday in church pushed that figure up to £313.94. What a fantastic result made possible by all the parents, staff and friends who donated items or helped and attended the coffee morning itself. Thank you”

Congratulations!
Congratulations to Roy and Enid Townson who celebrated their (60th) Diamond Wedding Anniversary on 30th September, Thursday.

DID YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SUPPORT YOUR CHURCH, EVEN WHEN YOU’RE ARE NOT HERE?

Our expenditure amounts to approximately £1,400 per week
This includes £850.11 per week which goes to the Diocese for our “share”.
Last weeks donations were as follows:
Planned Giving £283.70 (including standing orders) - Collections £198.14
Our income tax claim produces the equivalent of an additional £170 per week.
The shortfall is made up from fundraising—such as fetes and concerts etc
If you pay income tax—in each chair can be found a yellow giving envelope. Loose collection can be placed in these envelopes, completing the details requested (this will enable us to reclaim 28p in every £1 from the inland revenue). If you are a non-tax payer, please put your loose collection straight into the collection bags when they are passed around during the service.
Through our Planned Giving Scheme, you can commit a regular amount in order that we may be able to rely on a predictable income to meet our needs and responsibilities. We need new members to consider joining the Planned Giving Scheme—contact John Sprackling Our Hon. Treasurer—(01202) 751553 or email email sprackling@branksomepark.freeserve.co.uk
