Harvest - Sunday 1st October 2017
We will be celebrating Harvest this year with an All-Age Combined Parish Communion and Family Service at 10.00 am on Sunday 1st October, preceded by breakfast in the Pastoral Centre from 8.45 am.
Harvest gifts will be going to the Crowthorne Foodbank, to assist those who need help in the local community. See the September Newsletter for information about items needed.
We will also be thinking about the needs of those who are short of food in the wider world, with a focus on the work of Tearfund in Malawi and elsewhere.

The Door - Oxford Diocese Magazine
Some of you will remember receiving the ‘The Door’ with your hymn books on a regular basis. This has not happened recently and on discussion, the Rector’s Council have opted not to reinstate the paper version, but to share it electronically. So if you are interested in reading it, it is available on the Oxford Diocese Website here.

Inter-Faith News
Bracknell Forest Faith and Belief Forum brings together people from different faiths in the Borough. At present we have Muslims, a Buddhist, a Jew, two Baha’is, some Christians and a Hindu. Inspired by a visiting speaker at our recent AGM, we have decided to organise a programme of visiting different places of worship, and in 2018 we plan to visit a synagogue and a mosque.
On Tuesday 14th November at 7.30 pm (time TBC) we will be holding a public meeting on the topic ‘What should be the place of faith in modern Britain?’, with speakers from the different faiths giving their perspective. How, and even whether, people are allowed to express their faith in places of work or public life, has become a controversial matter, and I hope some of our congregation will come along to listen, ask questions and maybe share your opinion.
