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!
