Public testing of alert system – 7 September, 3pm

Please be aware that the UK government is testing the Emergency Alerts system on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm. Compatible mobile phones and tablets will receive an alert, make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate. You will not need to take any action.

The Emergency Alerts system is used to warn if there’s a danger to life nearby, including extreme weather. Regular testing ensures the system is functioning correctly, should it need to be used in a life-threatening emergency.

Anyone using a hidden phone or tablet as part of their personal safety should either switch off their device or set their phone to Airplane mode.

Bible Course

On alternate Thursday evenings we’re re-running the Bible Society’s bible course that Pieter and Hetty ran in the early part of the year. It’s open to anybody, even if you attended the first time, and especially if you missed a session. Everybody who has done the course more than once recalls they got something different out of it each time, so come again!

We’ll reconvene on September 4th for Session 6: Spirit & Community.

Calling all Crafters – from Sue

As you know I have been making post box toppers and follow the related feeds on Facebook. Well today I saw this on a page, and it got me thinking…

We have 4 similar posts outside the Church, wouldn’t it be nice to decorate them with the Nativity this December.

So, I am looking for some help, from knitters, crocheters or maybe Cross Stitchers (the plastic Aida works great), to bring the idea into reality. (Any other crafting ideas may also be possible

Please let Susan know if you want to help.  Thanks
