Hi everyone,
I hope that you have all had time to look at the talk from the Children’s Society last Sunday, and big thanks to all those who have taken up collection boxes to have in your homes. It's available here if you have not seen it: https://youtu.be/RNjEg-KhfNo?si=3bpGc30RV1ILOIyA
This Sunday we have Rosanna preaching to us about thankfulness so please take a moment to have a look at the Bible readings below and come prepared for God to speak to you!
We also have our benefice skittles evening coming up on Saturday 18th of November at 7pm. This is a great chance for all three churches to get together as one family, socialise, play and enjoy my total inability to bowl!
In November we have several big Sundays to look forward to with Remembrance on the 9th, a speaker from Open Doors on the 23rd, Safeguarding Sunday on the 23rd, and a Mission focused Benefice service on the 30th.
You can find out more about Open Doors here: https://www.opendoorsuk.org
Bless you and see you soon,
Adam
If you want to continue tracking with some of the sermon ideas as they develop I have included some more links to useful content that can help to keep us on the same 'wavelength'. This week , the resource I used this week to teach children about love:
“God’s overwhelming and unconditional love for every single human being”
Discipleship: A life of learning
How Christian Nationalism Threatens Democracy
Jeremiah 29.1, 4-7, 2 Timothy 2.8-15 and Luke 17.11-19
See all below for all the other details of our groups and upcoming events.
Next Sunday we will meet at 9.30am in High Littleton and 11am in Paulton.
If you want to access resources in the meantime, we have a wealth of materials available.
You can use the YouTube link to get yourself tuned up and ready to sing with us on Sunday.
If you don't feel able to attend in person, we will continue to provide online worship options as well. The link to Twitch is at the bottom of this email.
COMING UP...
Knit and Natter meet in the back room of Paulton church on the first Wednesday of each month from 2 to 4pm. The next meeting is on Wednesday 5th November 2025.
Everyone is welcome to come along and join the group, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and a cake and have a good natter!
TGIF is on every Friday and Monday from 10am to 11.30am for coffee, cake, playtime and good chatting - you can find the latest details on Facebook here. (Not during the school holidays)
Morning prayer is taking place at 9.30am Wednesday in Paulton and Thursday in High Littleton. It begins with 15 minutes of quiet reflection, followed by Common Worship morning prayer.
The Church of England have updated their Morning Prayer APP. You can now listen to morning prayer from the app. I would encourage you all to take this up as a daily practice, it is a great way to grow a pattern of prayer and learn the rhythm of responses each day.
You can download the app here: https://www.chpublishing.co.uk/apps/daily-prayer

Every blessing to you all.
