Also shampoo, conditioner, bars of soap, shower gel.
Young Adults film night. This Monday 5th October, we’ll be watching the Last Supper (from The Chosen mega-series). It’s a two-parter, so we’ll be starting earlier than usual, at 6:00pm.
Our ‘Church Going’ autumn course starts this week. Tuesday at 7pm or Wednesday at 2:30pm (in the Parish Centre): we’ll be exploring the culture changes in church and society and how that affects our mission here in Caversham Park and Emmer Green. Blue course leaflets are at the back of church. All welcome, full details: www.saintbarnabas.org.uk/church-going/
Mens Breakfast: Wednesday 7th October, 8:15am. Ask David Howell for details.
Prayer Walk: Saturday 10th October. Please do join us for a prayer walk in Caversham Park. We shall leave from outside the Post Office at 2:00pm, returning about an hour later.
Regular giving to St Barnabas: If you consider St Barnabas is your church, please support our mission and ministry. The best way is to give regularly through the Parish Giving Scheme (click here). Or see the ‘Giving’ page on our website.
Eco Tip: The UK wastes approximately 10.7 million tonnes of food each year, with households responsible for the majority of this waste. Over the next few weeks, our Eco Tips will focus on food waste. Today: honey that's been left in the cupboard and has crystallised, can be salvaged by standing the jar in warm water for 10 minutes.
Annual Charitable Giving. It's time for you to nominate charities that the PCC will consider for receiving a donation in 2027. We ask that if possible, the charity is or has a local branch, that it is Christian and has a connection to yourself. There is a sheet in the parish centre for your nominations. Closing date is 1/11. Any questions please speak to Wendy Howell
Notices for this sheet to admin@saintbarnabas.org.uk by 12 noon on Wednesday.
