Hello, We hope you are all well. With the impact of Covid affecting so many people, we are really excited to be able to offer weekly Zoom sessions, providing support around ‘Managing Wellbeing’. These sessions will be informal, but facilitated and guided by us, to enable participants to access the help they need, while finding ways to feel better and move forward. The first session is next Tuesday, October 6th 2020, 5:00pm – 6:30pmThen weekly every Tuesday, 5:00pm – 6:30pm for the next six months (using the same Zoom link every week) We are using the image above to publicise this rather than publicising the actual zoom link, so if you are happy to share that image to help advertise this for us, that would be fantastic, thank you. However, if you know of anyone who would like to come along, or would benefit from being involved, please feel free to pass the Zoom link below on to them directly. If you have any questions or we can help in any way, please do not hesitate to contact us. Many thanks for all your time and help. Best wishes, Emily Emily HavercroftMTH – Making Things Happen CIC
This month I have included images from past St Wilfrid’s Autumn Fairs. I will include other Parish events in future editions. Thankfully none of the pictures includes me :)Also this month Revd. Philip Macdonald writes the ‘Dear Friends’ article in which he explores the technology now being used to enable Sunday Worship. Tony Service reports on events in the local Methodist Circuit and also supplies a warming tale (or should that be tail?) of a young lad buying a puppy.I have included a text from Dr Ruth Bancewicz from The Faraday Institute that considers whether a Christian can also be a Scientist. And this month I managed to get in a poem by the Great McGonagall - surely Scotland’s premier poet, even greater than that Robert Burns character?As always I am responsible for the rest of the magazine…
