After our successful collections in previous years we are again this year collecting for the charity which distributes underwear in Africa and the UK.

Gently worn bras and new (still in the packaging) pants requested.

Ladies: sizes 8-14, black pants preferred;
children: ages 3-15;
gents: sizes XS – L.

To be delivered to Debra Thatcher, 3 Main Street no later than October 16th.

Bored with the same old recipes?  Some lovely cookery books have been donated so you can ring the changes – the one devoted to apple recipes might well come into its own this autumn!

Ready to laugh out loud?  Jerome K Jerome’s “Three Men in a Boat” is just the ticket. First published in 1889 and never since out of print – three young clerks set out on a boating trip down the river Thames with the unruly fox terrier Montmorency causing trouble at every opportunity.

Some more fun can be found in “I Before E (Except After C) – how many of the old school ways to remember things can you recall?

Finally, this month, two collections of short stories by Agatha Christie – “The Thirteen Problems”, a story told by each member of The Tuesday Night Club including Miss Marple and “The Listerdale Mystery”.

HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1926 – 2022
A Service of Thanksgiving and Holy Communion held on the first Sunday of the period of mourning for Her Majesty was well attended – our grateful thanks are extended to Rev’d Jes Salt for such a moving service which gave us an opportunity to reflect on the life of dedication of our late Queen and for thanksgiving for her long life.

HONOURING GOD AND CREATION
Join us at the church at 2:30pm on Saturday, 8th October for a lively and informative talk on environmental matters and the path to Net Zero Carbon by 2030 and for an opportunity to meet with Bishop John, the Bishop of Brixworth, who has particular responsibility for the environment in Peterborough Diocese.  Tea will follow.

This event was well attended and informative.
