The service this Sunday at Christ Church is Holy Communion, 9.30am, and Wednesday prayers continue at the same time.

The Remembrance Service will be at 10.30am on Sunday 13 November, in the Memorial Hall.

Please be sure to support the Christmas Fayre on 3 December also in the Memorial Hall, 10am -12 noon. This is an opportunity for the community to get involved and get behind a great cause: a WC for the church! There will be lots to buy, lots to do, and lots to eat.

On Saturday 26 November, 10.30 -11.30am, all interested residents of Wellington Heath are invited to attend the Newcomers Welcome Day in the Memorial Hall. Here, all those who have recently come to live in the village will be able to meet the Council members and find out about all the various activities that take place in this interesting village.

Tonight, in the hall, you can join in with Barefoot Dancing, 7.30pm – 9.30pm. This takes place on the first Friday of every month.

The Garden Club are meeting on Wednesday evening, 7.45pm for an 8pm start, in the hall. For further details of this month’s meeting please phone Margaret on 01531 635380.

The Walkers are planning a trip to Stroud this week. Meet at the hall at 9.30am.

Thank you to all for your patience regarding the recent roadworks on Beggars Ash. The road was closed from Monday morning to Wednesday afternoon.

And a thought to end with: ‘Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower’ (Albert Camus).

Enjoy your week,
