METHODIST CHURCH: Esther Benney led the family service on Sunday morning ably assisted by her family, Peter, Treve and Grace. The offering was collected by Edward Boaden and the accompanist Sybil Benney. On Sunday the appointed leader is Mrs J Allen, a circuit reader.

CHAPEL: This year the shoe box appeal is different. Link to Hope is a Christian charity dedicated to rebuilding lives and communities in Eastern Europe. There is a choice of filling a shoebox for family or elderly. Leaflets are in the entrance hall of the chapel. The boxes must be returned to chapel on November 5, our next family service.
