Splendid total raised

The NSPCC collection in Bagshot for 2010 raised the sum of £1,275. I would like to thank the box-holders who give so generously each year. Some of the money we raise is donated from the fees received by the Bellringers for weddings at St. Anne's. There are less than 20 subscribers to our annual collection so I feel that shows what an excellent amount is raised. Thank you very, very much.

Litter Pick is Call to Serve

As part of the new mission statement "For the Community, In the Community, Inspired by Christ" we have been looking for ways in which we can serve our village.

On Saturday 30th October a Parish Litter Pick party will be out with gloves, litterpick sticks and black bags working to tidy a patch of our parish.

We want to remind ourselves and everyone else that a Christian life is a calling to serve others in any ways we can. We also hope to raise the profile of our church and, God willing, chat about our faith and church to residents who do not normally have much contact with us.

Do you have a pair of stout gloves? Could you join us? We'll meet at 10am at the church centre and the more the merrier. 

Do you have other ideas of how the church can serve and be seen more In The Community in the coming months?  Tell any one of the PCC.

Cathedral Link person needed

Guildford Cathedral runs a Link Scheme whereby each parish and deanery is encouraged to appoint someone to keep in touch with the Cathedral. The Link Representative is the key person in developing and strengthening the relationship between the parish and the Cathedral. Every Link receives the Cathedral's bi-monthly diary giving them all the Cathedral news and information about events to publicise within the parish. In exchange, the Cathedral offers to publicise parish events. Each year the Links are invited to our Annual Links Meeting at the Cathedral which provides an opportunity for the sharing of information, opportunity to ask questions and make suggestions.
 
 Elizabeth Rowbotham has been St Anne's Link with the Cathedral for the past 15 years and is now stepping down. I thank her for all she has done in the role for so long. We now need someone to step into her shoes. If you might be interested in taking on this small rôle for St Anne's, I would be delighted to hear from you. Alternatively, you could explore the Cathedral's website, especially their section about the Cathedral Links:
www.guildford-cathedral.org/helping/cathedral-link           David



Samaritan’s Purse – Operation Christmas Child

Or maybe you could give Eve a monetary donation so she can buy items to fill more boxes and also cover the cost of their transport to the Third World? Details in the leaflets at the back of church or please see Eve for more details. Last year 67 boxes were sent from St Anne’s. Let’s see if we can break that record. Deadline is 21st November.

Please think about joining the new  "Everybody Welcome" course, starting Wednesday 29th September at 8pm and running for 4 weeks.

“Just think what the impact would be if not 10 per cent but 25 per cent or even 50 per cent of the people who try out our church succeed in becoming regular congregation members!”
“Everybody Welcome” is a complete course to transform the church by improving our approach to newcomers. Believing that welcoming is a ministry for every member of the church, it offers guidance for the entire congregation and will help every individual to play their part in improving the integration of new arrivals. There are four sessions:
    Discover – making the church more visible
    The premises – making them more inviting
    A welcoming God and his welcoming people
    Belonging to the church community
The course has been developed by Bob Jackson, Archdeacon of Walsall, a highly respected consultant on issues of church growth.
“Most churches think that they are friendly, but is mainly because we are friendly with one another. We may say 'All are welcome' but not realise how unwelcoming we appear to the outsider. 'Everybody Welcome' is about removing the barbed wire and making our welcome central to all we do and the people we are.”
I encourage as many people as possible to come to this course. Please sign up on the sheets at the back of church.    David

Additionally,   we are looking for a volunteer willing to help in the church office on Friday mornings.  Training will be given but computer skills, good telephone manner, willingness to learn and a cheerful outlook are essential.  Please see Lynne Cowley or the Vicar, to learn more.
