ADVENT DISCUSSIONS:
This year’s discussions are based on the three parts of the Creed and are designed so the participants may be more able to talk about their own faith to others. The second talk is on Tuesday 11th December at 7.30 pm in the Small Hall.
ACTION FOR HOMELESS IN BARNET:
Donations of toiletries as well as tins of food may be left in the Box at the back of the Church. Thank you all.
SCOUT SLEEPOUT:
Next Saturday more than two dozen Scouts have volunteered to sleep in cardboard boxes in the Church grounds to raise awareness of homelessness in the capital.

Come and see where they slept on Sunday morning – and if you feel moved or inspired at their efforts, please make a donation.
