Mission Action Plan Workshop with lunch
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. And God saw that the light was good.
Genesis 1: v1-4

Dear Friends,
​​
Confirmation Preparation Begins – 14th September, St George’s, after the service.
I am delighted to say that over the summer, a number of people have approached me about being confirmed. As a result, I have asked the Bishop if she would be willing to confirm at St Mary Magdalen’s one Sunday afternoon in the new year. I will let you know when I have more details about that.
​
If you are not confirmed but would like to be please have a word with me or just come along after service at St George’s on 14th September.
​
Back to School Sunday (7th September)
Please see the article by Lesley Sutcliffe about Back to School Sunday. If you are a school pupil and have a bag and want it blessed, please bring it along on 7th September. There will be colouring and lots of fun!

Inspired by Saints
As Peter Mayers wrote in the last edition of the Benefice News, we shall be holding a special sermon series in the run-up to Christmas beginning on 2nd November. The series is entitled 'Inspired by Saints' and will link in with home group studies each week so that we can reflect on the saints during the week.
​
There will be a special booklet with information about the saints and some artwork to prompt your reflections. Because a lot of the artwork revolves around icons I will give a preparatory presentation about icons in St George's on Wednesday 15th October at 7.30pm to help get into the spirit of what they are about. Do come along to that even if you are not a regular at the home group meetings.These are the saints we shall be thinking about:-
2 Nov All Saints
9 Nov Saint Martin of Tours
16 Nov Saint Andrew the Apostle
23 Nov Saint Cecilia
30 Nov Saint Barbara
7 Dec Saint Nicholas of Myra (aka Santa Claus)
14 Dec Saint Joseph the husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary
21 Dec Saint Lucy of Syracuse
​
Because we will busy with the saints, this year we shall have a rest from the Advent Carol eucharist that we have had for several years now before regrouping again next year!
​
​
With every blessing,
Adam
