Dear Friends
Welcome to our October newsletter for All Saints church Whitstable!
We start this month with the event at St Peter's this Friday which I would like to invite you to. Although this is not an "All Saints event" I am certain many people would find this interesting.
It features myself in discussion with Pema Deki who is a Buddhist nun.
Full details are here. There is no charge for this event - just come along!
Sadly Geoff is no long able to host the event so I will host it instead.
Back here at All Saints we have our Harvest Festival service on Sunday 13th October. It is always a great occasion! Do put it in your diaries. At the 8am service that day please bring the food up to the top altar before the service. At the 10am that day please keep the food on you and we will ask you to bring it up during the service.
Please note that we already had our Harvest Barn Dance and Supper in September and my great thanks to the Social Committee for making it such a special evening.
TEN - by J John
I am going to run a new course called 10 or Ten which
is in the format of DVD showing the famous Christian J John speaking about the
Ten Commandments and how they have relevance to us today.
The course “Ten” or 10 will take place over ten evenings
or mornings (choose whether you wish an evening or morning course) starting on
Thursday 17th October at 7.30pm to 9.15pm and Friday 18th October 10.30am to
12.15pm and then running every week till Thursday 19th and Friday 20th
December. The course is free of charge
and will take place at the Vicarage which is to the left of All Saints church
and hall on Church Street, Whitstable CT5 1PG.
Please do
let me know if you are planning to attend. You can always come the first week
as an experiment and then not continue if it is not for you.
