September
Sunday 6, Fourteenth after Trinity
        9.00am Parish Communion (BCP)

Dear Friends
Welcome to September!
We are back to our normal pattern of services and  this Sunday Rev’d Virginia is looking forward to welcoming you to Christ Church for our Said Communion service using the Book of Common Prayer at 9am.
At St. James’ we have a Parish Communion Service at 10.30am with a welcome return to the Leith Hill Choirs! We will be celebrating Creation and God’s abundant generosity - easy to do for us in the Surrey Hills! Refreshments served after the service.
Next Sunday, 13th September, don’t forget to book your place at our Community lunch! 12-2.30pm at the Evelyn Hall. All are very welcome!
Date for your Diaries!! Estelle will be running the Faith, Hope, Love and Joy course across our two churches. Do let Sally know if you would like to come to some or all of them. I can highly recommend them as a gentle and informal introduction into exploring how our faith can help us navigate our changing world.

And please don’t forget to complete our Children and Youth questionnaire. This will help inform the PCC as to how we can best support our families in our villages How your village church can support families & youth – Fill in form Thank you so much!
With  love
Rev’d Kia
