FOCUS NEWSLETTER – YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS PLEASE. The deadline for our next newsletter is Tuesday 28th October. Please send Helen Benson articles, updates, details of church events (past and upcoming), news, book reviews, poems, jokes, recipes, puzzles, etc. Focus aims to foster our sense of community and provide a window into our church for the wider community, visitors and potential new attendees so let’s make it interesting and reflective of the warm, welcoming church that we are. The best format is a MS Word document. Make sure you have the person’s consent if sending photos and let Helen know when you send them. Email your contributions to focus@teddingtonmethodistchurch.org.uk or speak to Helen if you do not have access to a computer. Thank you!
Can you help our Sunday Projection Team? We're looking for people to join us in preparing and projecting the services onto our screens. We work on a rota basis, so you would take a turn every 4 - 5 weeks. We use Powerpoint and do most of the preparation on our home PC's. We have an extensive database of hymns and other items, which we use to build the weekly Powerpoint file. If you are interested, please speak to Richard Bott, Sarah Waine or Sharon Barbarez who can explain what's involved and give you a demonstration.
Can anyone help with the Welcome Rota? This involves coming to church at 10am., welcoming people giving out notices and collection bags. This is very much appreciated, especially by newcomers, and those that find the foyer doors heavy to open. It gives pleasure and happiness to the Welcomer. Please speak to one of our Stewards for more information.
Preserves and mince pies please! We plan to include a preserve stall at the Christmas Card Sale on 22nd November. If you can make some to sell, we would be most grateful. Please let Sally Aston (sallyaston123@gmail.com) know if you can man the stall as we need volunteers. Also, we would like to sell some homemade mince pies so would also be grateful for mince pie contributions. Thank you, Sally Aston
Knitted Angels for Christmas Once again we are going to be distributing our Christmas Angels to the local community this Christmas. Crochet/knitting patterns can be found on the Links page of our website or speak to Sarah if you would like a printed copy. Jenny is happy to help knitters at Saturday coffee mornings. Please bring spare yarn if you have it. Jenny has spare needles of appropriate sizes.
