FOCUS NEWSLETTER – YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS PLEASE. The deadline for our next newsletter is Tuesday 14th January. Please send your articles, updates, details of church events (past and upcoming), news, book reviews, poems, jokes, recipes, puzzles, etc. Our newsletter 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. Contributions to focus@teddingtonmethodistchurch.org.uk or speak to Helen Benson if you do not have access to a computer.  

Sunbury Methodist Church will be singing carols outside Tesco Sunbury from 5pm to 7pm on Monday 23rd December and support will be welcomed. 

What is your favourite Christmas carol? With Christmas approaching, David is interested to know your favourite Christmas carol so that he can try to include it during one of the Christmas services. Please do let him know soon if you have one that you particularly would like us to sing. (If you look in one of our red hymnbooks on the trolley behind the piano, you’ll find Advent and Christmas carols which are numbered between 165 and 233) 

There is a decorated A-frame at the back of the church for anyone who wants to send a Christmas card and message to the church family rather than individual cards.
