From Fr. Bernard

Hello All,

​First of all, a big thank you to everyone who helped at last week’s Jumble Sale. On the day we raised £493, which is a marvellous effort, and will go towards the costs of our Winter Fair, which is rapidly approaching on the 7th of November, only four weeks away. 

For the Fair, we need both donations and help! Please donate good quality or new items for Raffle Prizes and also for the various stalls: Bottles; Tombola; Good quality Bric-A-Brac (we cannot accept electrical goods or knives); Jewellery; Books; Toys and Games. These can be left at the back of church. We will also need helpers setting up on Friday the 6th and on the day. There is a list at the back of church. Please sign up as soon as possible if you can help, so that we can get the organisation sorted. Any queries please speak to/email Ann: 01525 376015; 07789 754569; [email protected].

There is also a notice in the attached Cross and Crown about Bishop Richard’s farewell service on the 15th of November in St Paul’s Bedford. Tickets are available on-line from Monday, at https://www.stpaulschurchbedford.org.uk/event-details-registration/bedfordshire-service-of-thanksgiving-and-farewell-on-the-retirement-of-rt-revd-richard-atkinson-obe. All are welcome. 

There will be Eucharists at 8 and 10 am on Sunday as usual, and Choral Evensong at 6 pm. Morning Prayer will only be said on Wednesday and Friday this week, and there will be Evening Prayer on Tuesday at 5:30 pm, and on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 6 pm. There will be Eucharists on Wednesday and Thursday at 10 am. 

As we are now in October, I also have the usual notice about names of the departed to be remembered on All Souls’ Day at our Requiem Eucharists at 10 am and 7:30 pm. Sheets on which to write names are on the table at the back of church. Please write neatly, and print names if you can, otherwise I may not be able to read them properly, and you run the risk of my reading them out wrong! This list is for names to be remembered at our Eucharists on All Souls’ Day itself. The list for those to be remembered in the Yearsmind for 2027 will go out AFTER All Souls’ Day! 

Thank you, God bless, and see you soon
