‘Church Going’ is the title of our autumn course this year. Starting on 6th October, with input from a variety of experts, we’ll be exploring the culture changes in church and society and how that affects our mission here in Caversham Park and Emmer Green. Tuesday evenings (7:00pm) and Wednesday afternoons (2:30pm) in the Parish Centre, all welcome. Full details: www.saintbarnabas.org.uk/church-going/
Prayer Walk: Saturday 10th October. Please do come and 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: Autumn is officially here so it’s time to think about making homemade soup. Have a dedicated bag in the freezer for all your end vegetable odds and ends e.g. celery tops, tips of green beans, carrot ends, cauliflower core etc. When you have enough, use it to make a delicious stock which would be a good base for an autumn soup.
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.
