Next Sunday (27th) we will be celebrating Harvest Festival with traditional and contemporary music and invite you to bring harvest gifts which will be donated to the FSW foodbank appeal - more details below.

We are delighted to announce the appointment of the Rev. Michael Windridge as Associate Vicar.

Collect:  God, who in generous mercy sent the Holy Spirit upon your Church in the burning fire of your love: grant that your people may be fervent in the fellowship of the gospel that, always abiding in you, they may be found steadfast in faith and active in service; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Kerry Parsons who leaves behind a young family and for her close relatives who mourn her loss after a courageous fight.

Years Mind:  Bryan Davies, Fred Thomsett, Neville Pooley, Phil Lord, Alan Mealing, Syd Todd

Alpha Course this Autumn
Rev. Simon Allaby and Top Street Chapel will be running a new online Alpha course, beginning on Tuesday 29th Sept and running for 10 weeks, ending on Tuesday 1st Dec with the Alpha ‘Day’ (teaching on the person and work of the Holy Spirit) on Saturday 7th Nov 10.30am - 1pm. Alpha enables you to explore the Christian faith whether you’ve been a Christian for years or just have questions about life and why we’re here. If you sign up for the course then each week you’ll be sent a link so that you can watch that week’s video in your own time. Then at 8pm on Tuesdays participants will all join a Zoom call for 45 minutes to discuss the video and ask any questions. The first week will be a ‘taster’ session with no commitment to continue after that, and people are free to drop out at any point in the course if they wish. For more details, please contact Simon on 07837 637113 or enquiries@turn-the-page.co.uk

Family Support Work
Could you help to restock the FSW foodbank?
Stock levels are low at the moment yet they need to send out approx 20 food boxes per week.
Non-perishable goods, toiletries, pasta, cereals, tinned goods etc are especially welcome at this challenging time.
We now have FSW baskets both in church and in the Eight Bells - Please continue to donate when passing or visiting.
 
Plastic milk bottle tops
Please continue to save your plastic milk bottle tops as they cannot be recycled in your wheelie bin.
Ron Leggett has recently delivered another 11Kg to the Chichester collection hub - and each one weighs so little!

Please help by being vigilant
. . .  when passing the church and contact either churchwarden if you are suspicious of any untoward activity.
 
Legacies
Once having made provision for your loved ones, please consider leaving a legacy in your will to our beautiful church.
