 This morning our al age Eucharist celebrated All Saints Day. For the first time in over a week the weather was dry and the sky clear.

We started our service with the Junior Choir, Sam received his light blue ribbon, and Amelia her dark blue ribbon. Amelia was also invested as Head Chorister with a special medal. The Junior Choir then sang 'Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John' .

The service then proceeded and we sang some well known All Saints hymns. Father Chris spoke about the Saints in his sermon, we came up with quite a few names of saints and learned some we didnt know including Saint Luigi Scrosoppi the patron saint of football! We are all Saints in training and if we follow the directions given to us by Our Lord with his help we will achieve sainthood.

The Choir sang 'Give me the wings of faith' by Bullock as the anthem.

Next Friday the 10th of November there will be a Bonfire an activities at the Church Hall with food and activities, all are welcome, there will be a small charge for the foo.

Next  Sunday is Remembrance Sunday when we will have a special act of Remembrance as par tof the service.

Coming into view rather rapidly is the Christmas Market, this year La Marche de Noel as it has a French theme. Open across lunch time there will be French christmas delicacies to buy for lunch!
