Hi everyone,
A few things to note this week,
Firstly, please sign up for our Paulton ‘Hearts and Harvest’ community meal. This is a free event open to everyone in the village that wants to come and share a bit of food and fellowship. It’s on September 28th at 4pm. Please use this link to sign up, and also share it around, I would like everyone to take this opportunity to invite someone who doesn't normally come to church:

This Sunday there will be a traditional organ lead service in High Littleton at 9.30am and our family friendly all action service on Paulton at 11am. I will be leading both services and Rosanna will be preaching on the parable of the lost sheep.
Also, as it is September I am about to start the ‘Bible in a Year’ reading programme again. This is a really easy way to get through the Bible and only takes about 15 minutes per day. And the best part is, it will even read it to you! If you would like to journey with me then here is a link to the app that I use: http://bible.com/r/5
Bless you and see you soon,
Adam

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 1st October 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.
Adam
