SOCIALS – have your say
We are looking to put a social calendar together & would love some ideas of events that you would like to do as a church.  It would also be helpful to know what days & times would suit people and if you would be willing to help him arrange an event or even take the lead on it.  
This is a great opportunity for us, as a church, to bring friends, build new relationships and enjoy fellowship together.
Events don't have to be down at church and don't have to involve food.  So, let your imagination loose & tell us what you'd like to do (try to make it realistic though).
Please follow the link below by October 14th & let us know your thoughts.

LIDO CARPARK – NO WEEKDAY USE

PARKING IN THE LIDO MIDWEEK

The Lido has asked us to refrain from parking in their carpark on weekdays as it is now contracted out to 2 local businesses.  Evenings & weekends should still be fine, but if you are coming down to church during the day Mon-Fri, please park elsewhere.  This is a permanent change with immediate effect.

FOODBANK NEEDS – HARVEST

HARVEST GIFTS

Thank you for your support for the North Guildford Foodbank last week, with your harvest gifts, and regularly.  We were able to deliver a really good amount of items to them after our Harvest service and we also collected £131.50 to give them, which they can use to help top up fuel cards for clients.  They are becoming increasingly busy each year & expect that demand will increase over the winter months with the changes to the Benefits system.  Heather & Rose, the coordinators, pass on their thanks & ask we keep them in our prayers.
