Headlines: Worship Sunday 11 October is:

10:30am Keinton Harvest Festival,

No need to book, just come, (obviously as long as you don’t have any symptoms, and please bring a mask) you will be welcome

As usual the 10:30am service will be livestreamed (assuming the technology is in compliant mode!)

You will be able to find the livestream here:

If the first stream drops out, stay on this part of the webpage and the new stream should appear as soon as Clive is able to get into it!

If we have a total stream failure then the service will be recorded and uploaded, and will be found here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9tB_kpGA8SZwwyE9AmKvmg/videos?view=0&flow=grid

Please also note the change in day/date for the Bible Book Club reading Nehemiah, the introduction is attached to this email

The change is because this deanery is hosting a vigil for Bishop Peter, who as many of you will know is currently being treated for Leukaemia. the evening will be led by David MacGeoch and myself and will take place on Zoom, hopefully with participants from across the Archdeaconry. Further details will follow but the initial Zoom details are attached along with those for Bible Book Club.

We apologise that last week’s failure was in sound…. we’re going to keep trying, but may have to resort to recording and then posting, watch this space

Best wishes to you all

Jane

Faith ‘n Fun on 27 September explored the churchyard, and took the opportunity to find lichen:

we looked for examples of where there may be less care or attention paid to parts of the churchyard

Then there were examples of caring for the churchyard and graves

There were bugs, butterflies, insects worms and the plants that help to care for them

There are crops, harvest, and food for bugs

And homes for bugs, some made by people, some natural

A great afternoon, with some fabulous photos, thank you everyone!
