The October Connected is available to download!
October, it seems, is a month to celebrate birthdays - St
Francis’ Church is getting ready for its 40th birthday, whilst the St Wilfrid’s
Wellbeing Cafe is sweeping up after hosting its 1st birthday party. And St
Francis’ day falls on the 4th October. So that’s a lot of cake, cards, balloons
and parties to get through!
Revd. Rodger Place takes the Dear Friends slot this month,
and reminds us that God is much to big to be confined to the church building on
a Sunday, and reminds us that the building is merely a convenient meeting place
for followers of Jesus. Revd. Pete Watson reflects on the upcoming Harvest
Festivals and the choices that we can all make to ensure that we fulfil God’s
call to be truly alive and energized by His love and purpose.
Tony Service looks forward to October within the Methodist
Circuit and notes that, although an Ordinary month, it has it’s moments. I report on penguins (well hoarding
really...) and the magnificent work of Junior Church in the area of Toilet
Twinning. There is also a report of the moving blessing of the Memorial Stone
that took place on Thorpe Willoughby Village Green recently. And Barbara
Richardson reports on the work of the Stroke Unit in York & District
Hospital
