God give us life. Royston
Fringe - this
year was the best ever, with new ideas, and a greater footfall with new faces
visiting. At the time of writing, with
reserves held for outstanding costs, we are showing a profit of around £1300
(including the Cambridge Clarinet Choir already announced). This is
exceptional and due to the higher attendance, and generous donations from
performers and others. This effort, for which many thanks go to many
people, will go to the Refurbishment Project. There will be no Bible Appreciation on the following
dates: Tuesday 15th October, 29th October (due to Holiday Club), or 12th
November. Christmas
Begins Here -
with the Cambridge Salvation Army Band at West Road Cambridge on Sunday
December 1st 6.30pm. Tickets £12 (to be confirmed). This year they
have a guest singer, Faryl Smith. Valerie and I will be going. Will anyone
join us? We travel by car share as before. Let me know by October
31st so that I can make a priority booking. Brian Norwood 01763

We are once
again running the Light Party as a Christian alternative to Halloween. The
event has continued to grow year on year and many children look forward to
the fun evening of games, craft, food and music. As always the party cannot
happen without a band of willing volunteers and we are very grateful for
those who have served in this way in the past. We again need volunteers this year, so
please see the sign-up sheet on the notice board with a list of volunteering
opportunities. Please be aware that we need to know who will be coming to
help from your Church in advance. Also we need to be assured that those who
will be working directly with children on the evening are approved by your
Church to do this according to your Safeguarding procedures. We would be
grateful for any donations of individually wrapped sweets for the childrens
goody bags, so if you are able to collect some that would be great. Please
pass any sweets to Dave Aggett. You can also
contact the organiser of the event directly to offer to help. Helen Tobiss lightparty@ct-royston.org.uk Tel 01763
