Gift Day & Coffee Morning
10: 00 am to 12 noon Saturday
9 March 2013
You are warmly invited to join us for our annual Gift Day
coffee morning.
Since September 2012 we
have been led by a Ministry Team and experiences have, in the main, been
positive. We have pulled together as Team TMC and have done much to forge
closer links with our groups and local community. 2012 saw the start of our
monthly Table Top Sales. Our stallholders have commented on the calm and
peaceful environment our church provides and they’ve come back again and
again! We’ve also made a steady income to support the upkeep of our
buildings and the aroma of bacon butties is never far away.
We were delighted to join
in with Thackley’s Diamond Jubilee Celebrations and it was an absolute joy to see the church
near full to capacity for Tony’s Karate club’s demonstration. Our wives
group celebrated 50 years and the Guides’
sleepover and leading of worship was
a real hit. We were sorry to see the closure of Thackley Bambini; however, as
one door closes another opens and we are thrilled that Elaine felt
called to start a “See and Know”
group which is flourishing. Our first Scarecrow Festival was a weekend
full of blessings and we hope to repeat this in October. We continue to discern
God’s will for us.
As with all families we
have also faced times of sadness and we mourn the deaths of several church
family members. Our prayers are with their loved ones.
The Church Council offers grateful
thanks to you for the ways in which you contribute to the life of the church.
We are currently embarking on a redevelopment project to replace the windows in
the older buildings and to remove the fire escape which has been condemned. If
you can dig a little deeper and offer an extra bit of financial help for our
gift day, it will be greatly appreciated.
May God bless you.
