A Thank you from John and Carole Verity
In our recent celebrations for our golden wedding. John and I
requested no presents but if friends and family wished to
donate money it would be shared between the recreation room
project and a church project at Hubberholme in Wharfedale,
where we spend most of our holidays. We are delighted to say
that thanks to the generosity of so many people a total of £580
was shared between the two projects. Thank you also for the
lovely bunch of flowers which are still beautiful after almost 3
weeks.
Moira & Derick's Wedding Day.
There are times when "Thank You" seems such an inadequate
phrase. This is such a time. Moira and I were overwhelmed
with the love, fellowship and best wishes that were bestowed
on us on our Wedding Day by the congregation of Kirby
Muxloe Free Church. I was so proud that a lady so well
considered by her community, could do me the honour of
becoming my bride, and that her Church made me feel so
welcome and part of this village. So we thank you all for
making our special day a "Very Special Day"
Derick and Moira.
If you would like to download photographs of the wedding please send a request to David Godfrey and he will send you the Google link address.
Change of Name
Moira Richardson is now Moira McGauley so I would be
grateful if anyone responsible for rotas etc could make sure
my name is changed accordingly.
Thanks very much,
Moira McGauley
We need to collect 40 empty jam jars with lids over the next 3 weeks
so if everyone could save there's and pass it on to Abi that would be
great.
With the visibility and adverts that went out at the fun day being a
success we really need your help. There is a sign up rota in the
notice board up to volunteer for Thirst. It's really easy, jobs may
include helping set up and pack away, talking to youth about there
weeks, Helping with crafts, playing Xbox or table tennis or pool
with them and making sure they are in a safe environment. I'll be
there all the time so if your ever unsure I can help. Please commit
to a date, we're desperate.
Thanks

Churches Together Christian Aid Tea Party.

Friday 10th October between 2pm – 5.30pm. All are invited to
call in for a cup of tea, cake and a chat. If you would like to
bake a cake or are available help during the afternoon please

Walking the Building
Main Hall
The Playgroup are our main users, and are right at the centre of the life of this village. A good relationship with Sarah and the other staff is so important. Bob is a regular visitor to the Playgroup, and we arrange a brief (and simple) Christmas talk for the children.
Pray for the Playgroup – children and staff – especially through the Re-Creation Room building work. Pray that we may be able to build on the good relationship and forge even closer links in the future.
Pilates, the Badminton Club, Table Tennis Club and the Exercise Group – there are several other users of the large Hall, and for the most part we have few connections.
Pray for links with these groups, that we might be able to show that we are more than just providers of a great room.
Parties – usually children’s Birthday Parties. Again – often just a passing contact, but the way we conduct ourselves matters. Parents talk together, and our reputation within the village is often shaped by little things like this. Are we prepared to go ‘the extra mile’ in order to make that special day just a bit more memorable?
Pray that we become known as people who genuinely care about the everyday lives of families around us.
Bowls Group has become an important ministry, with relationships being built and people drawn more closely into the life of the Church through its people. Pray that it will continue to grow, and that those friendships will prove spiritually fruitful
Summer events: Holiday at Home / Holiday Club / Social Care Fair and more. The Large Hall is an important mission tool, and for decades now we’ve been reaching out to young and old through the events we run in the Summer. Pray that great fun is translated into real growth; that good times of companionship also produce decisions for Christ. And pray for lasting results from the continuing hard work of so many people.
FRIENDS AND NEIGHBOURS THURSDAY OCTOBER 2nd - "I told them I could do it" The new session of Friends and Neighbours got off to a good start with a moving talk from Ian Burbidge from the Greenhill Community Church in Coalville.
The next meeting - on October 2nd also promises to be both interesting and inspiring. Our speaker is Pauline Wells who has recently written her autobiography. Pauline has lived an eventful and rewarding life; from her early days as a young nurse in the 1950's to her current role as an ambassador for 'Rainbows'. She has also been very active in the Scouting movement in Leicestershire and was continually encouraged by her late husband. As usual a warm invitation is extended to everyone [men as well as women] to come along on Thursday October 2nd at 7.45 p.m. to hear about the life of an very caring lady. Ann Fearn
Reflection Day
The Theological Reflection Day is a training day for leaders at
every level of church life on Friday 10 October at Market

love’. Cost for this day is £30 which includes lunch and all
