Prayer Events…
Night night, God bless...
Please remember this lovely family prayer event, happening this Tuesday, 4.00pm at Busbridge Church. Also, do come to the Church prayer evening on at 8.00pm the same evening! It’ll last for one hour. It’s an important evening of prayer and there’s lots to pray about. Queries to David Mace.
Choir
A final call for anyone interested in joining the choir for the carol service at Busbridge? Rehearsals are 27/11, 4/12 and 11/12, in the evening 8.00pm - 9.00pm in the church (after the evening service). Anyone is welcome but If you could make yourself known to Jenna Brown, she’d be grateful so she knows who to expect!

Ceilidh
Thanks to everyone who came along to the Ceilidh on Saturday night - £361 was raised for the old rectory. A big thanks to Darren Montgomery for organising it.
Movie Matinee
The Movie Matinee team are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to support our Saturday movie events. Our next event is on 10th December where we’re running stalls to create snacks and do crafts before watching a Christmas film. We’re looking for people to help at the event, say “Hi”, and generally be around to show people where to go. If you can spare one or two Saturday afternoons a year, please get in touch with Catherine Garner for more information.
Malcolm Gorick (Busbridge) has this week moved to a residential home in Taunton and he wanted to thank everyone who has helped him with lifts and other activities over recent years. You can get his address off Jill Johnston if people would still like to be able to contact him.
Space for God
In the midst of all the busyness of life, this is a time for refreshment and stillness with God. After a short introduction, the hour is given over to quiet personal prayer with some activities on offer to help you meet with God in the quiet.
Tuesday 6th December 8.00pm - 9.00pm, Busbridge Church.
