TMC needs you!! We have rotas of volunteers for lots of roles on a Sunday morning - from welcoming, serving coffee, bible reading to helping with communion, controlling the sound system, providing musical accompaniment and putting up the words on the screens. If anyone can help out, please speak to one of the stewards. We'd love for more people to be involved.
Calling all knitters and crocheters! We need your help to make a large display of yarn poppies which will be sewn together for Remembrance Sunday. Please use any pattern you like or contact Fiona, Sally or Cathy for more details. There is a basic knitting and crochet pattern to download from our links page on our website https://www.teddingtonmethodistchurch.org.uk/links.htm or speak to Sarah if you would like a printed copy.
FOCUS NEWSLETTER – your contributions please. The deadline for our next newsletter is Tuesday 3rd November. Please send Helen Benson items to include such as articles, updates, details of church events (past and upcoming), news, book reviews, poems, jokes, recipes, puzzles, etc. Focus aims to help build our sense of community and to 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. If sending photos, please make sure you have the person’s consent 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!
