NOTICES – 26 OCTOBER, 2014
New - As some of you may know Penny Smith is currently undergoing chemotherapy.
She and Kate would very much appreciate the occasional meal, (nothing spicy or
exotic please!) left on her doorstep, preferably in a freezable container. So next time
you cook a stew, cottage pie or similar, perhaps you could make a couple of extra
portions. For more details speak to the clergy or 'phone Mel Le Vesconte 07775
637606.
New - We are instituting a regular Dads’ Curry Night as a new St Mary’s tradition to
help us all get to know each other better. The first Curry Night will be on Thursday
27 November, 8pm at Red Chilli, 467-469 Upper Richmond Rd West SW14 7PU
For more details contact Tom - tompcarson@gmail.com - 8878 7548, or James
Marshall – james.marshall@blplaw.com - mobile: 07912 126 903.
New - Advent Quiet Day: Reflections on a Christmas Carol. At St Mary’s,
Saturday 29th November, 10am-4pm (after the 9.30am Eucharist). No need to
book. Bring packed lunch. Tea and coffee provided. Contacts: Mel Le Vesconte
(8878 2298) or Tom Carson (8878 7458).
New - All Saints Jazz Supper - Saturday 22nd November, at All Saints, at 7.30pm.
Featuring the Blue Harlem band with hot supper, and dancing. Tickets £20 available
in advance from All Saints on Sundays, or email:
allsaintsconcertseries.sheen@gmail.com
Church Heating: The church heating has broken down and will not be usable this
winter. A working group is looking at options for repair or replacement and is reporting
back to the Consultative Group. We may well need to fundraise for a replacement
system and further information will be given as soon as we know more. In the
meantime and as an emergency measure, additional electric heaters have been
purchased. These will be sited mainly on the North side of the church (the partition
side), so you may like to bear this in mind when choosing where to sit during the
colder months.
Volunteers: Thank you to all who serve St Mary's and our local community in ways
too numerous to mention. If you are not yet involved, or would like to try doing
something different, please read the leaflet explaining how you can play your part
and sign up on the board at the back of church.
Parish Christmas Lunch & Tea: Help still needed before and on the day with
cooking, serving, raffle gifts, driving, organising, entertaining, socialising, lending
equipment. If you can help or would like to be involved in any way, please contact
Olwen 8876 7183 or olwenontour@hotmail.com
Christingle Party – volunteers still needed - on Sunday 30th November for our
family Christingle Party between 3 - 5pm. There will be activities, a Christingle
service and party tea. To make this happen we need lots of volunteers! Please sign
up at the back of church to help on the day. For more information, contact Kat
Graham (8408 9007) or Tom & Marian Carson (8878 7548).
Knitted Sheep needed: This year we are producing a good number of knitted sheep
in connection with some 'sheepish' additions to St Mary's Knitivity. If you can help please speak to Susie Lansbury - susie_lansbury@hotmail.com or one of the clergy.
