5th Teddington Guides Did you know that the Guide leadership team will be retiring in the summer after many years of leading the Guide Unit that meets on our church premises? If you know of anyone who might be willing to help lead the Guides in their place, please ask them to get in touch. There is a real chance that the Guide Unit will need to close down if no one else is found.
FOCUS NEWSLETTER – YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS PLEASE. The deadline for our next newsletter is Wednesday 14th May. Please send Helen Benson 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.

Request for Accommodation The Deacon at the French Protestant Church of London has contacted us with the following request. I am reaching out to you as there is an elderly member of our community who is looking for a 1-bedroom flat to rent in the Teddington area, as of August this year. She is struggling to find anything via Estate Agents or other usual channels, so I thought I would reach out to some fellow churches in the area. If any members of your congregation are looking to rent or know of anyone looking to rent this type of property, please get in touch.
