Every Friday at the Forbury Chapel, 10.00am—12noon.
Please come along, meet old friends, make new friends, help raise funds for
our churches and local charities. Only £1.70 for a tea or coffee! This
Friday, 25th September, is Barbara, our churchwarden. Please come along
to support her. Contact the team receptionist, on 01568612124, Monday
to Friday 9.30am –1.00pm if you would like to host a coffee morning.
There are some dates available.
ACTIVE LISTENING AREA – some people find they can
concentrate more fully when they are doing something with their hands.
In the active listening area, you are welcome to draw, colour, write and
create while you quietly listen and join in with worship. We ask that
you put things away tidily when you have finished using them.
TEAMS4U – SHOE BOX APPEAL
The Priory family have always been very generous in supporting this
appeal, and last November we filled 120 boxes which were sent to
Ukraine. I do hope that once again we can continue to show love to
disadvantaged children overseas.
Donations of medium size (12”x8”) empty shoeboxes, toiletries
(toothpaste, face cloths, soap) toys (cars, lego, yoyo, small balls) clothing
(gloves) small packs of sweets/chocolate or monetary donations to cover
the shipping costs of £3 per box would be most welcome. These can be
left at the Forbury Chapel.
Many thanks. Anna (07766 004673)
‘Thank you to everyone who stewarded over the summer. It made a
