Please remember to bring along any donations of children's gloves, hats and scarves to add to the Christmas shoeboxes for Ukraine & Moldova.
Also don't forget that the clocks go back tonight, so you get an extra hour in bed!

Mission, Evangelism & Church Planting Day
On Saturday 16th Nov the SWBA are hosting a day to help churches think about evangelism and church planting. There'll be all sorts of sessions and seminars covering a variety of themes, including discipleship, evangelism, small missional communities, children, youth and families' work and more. It would be great if a number of us could go!
