Thought for the Week
Discipleship
Our gracious God, we thank you for the wonderful paradox that maturity of faith can only be reached through a childlike response to your love: You are our Father, we are your children; with simple trust we follow you.

St Mary’s Market
The market is open every Wednesday and Saturday 10.30am - 3.30pm in St Mary’s church hall. Please come and have a browse, you might find just the thing you have been looking for.

St Peter's Church Gardening
This happens every Tuesday from 9.30am. If you would like to help in any way please turn up, you would be most welcome.
Please bring your own tools.

St Helen’s Churchyard
Everyone is very welcome to go into the churchyard, but PLEASE take your rubbish home with you. We are finding water bottles, drinks cans, crisp packets etc, just left where they fall. Someone has to pick them up and dispose of them off site, as there is no bin collection. Please help us keep this a place of tranquillity and beauty, and respect for our loved ones buried there.

Rubbish at St Peter’s
Just to remind everybody. . . ...Flowers and green waste should go in the BROWN bin: disposable cups, including those used in church on Sunday’s should go in the GREEN bin, all other rubbish in the BLACK bin. Thank you

Friends of St Helen's
This is now up and running. A bank account is now open and donations to this fund are very welcome. All money received will be put to the fabric and restoration of St Helen’s Church. Please speak to Jim Proctor for more details.

Benefice Book Group
The book “Stories we tell ourselves” provoked an enjoyable, interesting and wide ranging discussion. The next book is “The Humble Church” by Martyn Percy. The meeting will be on Friday 5th November at 2.00pm in St Catherine’s Chapel, St Helens. All are Welcome. Any questions please contact Catherine Davis [daviscath3(at)aol(dot)com].

One-off Envelopes
Although not in the pews they are available at the back of the church. Please ask the sidesperson as you come in.

Walk the Wight
Nigel would like to thank all who sponsored him on Walk the Wight. In the region of £200.00 will be raised for the Hospice.

St Mary’s had a visit from A.E. Cultural Tours on September 8th. They were greeted by Rev. Alison. This is a holiday company that specialises in coach tours around the UK that visit places of historical note. Hopefully this is a sign that life is getting back to normal, and it would be good if St Mary’s is on their itinerary of regular visits
