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 third talk is on Tuesday 18th 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:
More than two dozen Scouts slept in cardboard boxes in the Church grounds last night to raise awareness of homelessness in the capital. Each is trying to raise funds, through sponsorship, for The Passage, London’s largest voluntary sector day centre for homeless and vulnerable people. Come and see where they slept this Sunday morning – and if you feel moved or inspired at their efforts, please make a donation.
READERS AND CLEANERS:
Please collect your new rotas from the Paper shop.

Huge thanks to everyone who offered to pledge to our Growing in Faith fund-raising campaign last weekend.
