Notices for Sunday 6th October

Although there is no church service in the parish this week, there is a 9.30 am online worship service, accessible through your internet browser from the home page of the ottervalechurches.org website. If you need technical help with this please contact David, who will do what he can. Some familiar faces would love to welcome you to this live, 40-minute service, with the opportunity to chat with our warm online community both before and after the service.

You can also find details of services at local churches on the Mission Community website, in Tipton Times and on the notice board at the back of Tipton church (by the stairs).

Thursday 10th October 7.30 to 9.15 pm homegroup at Becky & David’s home. The aim of these weekly meetings is to grow in our personal faith, to get to know God better and in doing so get to know each other better. You are welcome to join us wherever you live and whatever your faith experience. We are currently studying the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

David and Becky Williamson: email David here or phone 07845 953984 or 01404 812493. St. Mary’s, Hayne Close, TSJ.

Harvest contributions to be donated to St. Petrock’s, a charity working with the homeless in Exeter can be delivered to David and Becky’s home any time before 13th October or David can collect them from you.
