With the Light Trail almost here, we're grateful for the many ways people have helped prepare for this special event. Thank you for your generosity and willingness to serve. As the weekend approaches, let us pray that God will bless the evening with good weather, happy conversations, and opportunities to share the love and light of Jesus with all who come.

If you have been bereaved, we warmly invite you to our annual Service of Remembrance and Thanksgiving. This gentle service offers an opportunity to remember loved ones, give thanks for their lives, and find comfort in God's presence, alongside family and friends. Names of those who have died will be read during the service, and refreshments will be available afterwards, with clergy on hand to talk and pray with anyone who would find that helpful. All are very welcome. 🙏🕯️💛

Flyers are available in church with a slip to complete if you'd like a loved one's name read during the service or to let us know you're coming. Alternatively, email admin@stpetersfarnborough.org.uk.

This Christmas, St Peter’s is filling boxes with Christmas treats, store-cupboard basics, a supermarket voucher and the Christmas story for children, for families in Rushmoor who are finding things tough. We’d love your help to make it happen. There are four ways you can get involved:

• Give: each box costs £30 to fill. Donate here

• Pack: help us pack boxes in church on Tuesday 8 December. Sign up

• Deliver: help take boxes to local schools in the week of 14 December. Sign up

• Make a card: make a Christmas card “with love from St Peter’s Church” to go in the boxes, and give it to Harriet.

Do you know a family who could use a box? Families in Rushmoor who are receiving Universal Credit can register here. Places are limited.

Be part of the journey, register your prayer meeting, and help us reach 300! Together we can see prayer flourish across our communities and look expectantly to all God has in store.

Start small, start simple, start today.

Looking for a simple way to spend time with God each day? The Triangle Bible reading notes provide daily Bible passages and helpful reflections to encourage your Christian walk.

If you would like to be added to the list, please speak to or email Sarah Norbron who will be delighted to hear from you and will help you subscribe.

Some of us ladies had a great time again last weekend at the Orchard Women's Conference led by Rachel and Amy Hughes. We have already booked for next year and would love other ladies to join us. It is a truly uplifting time of sung worship and relevant talks. We will be going to Brighton next year and there will be a youth stream for 11-18 year old girls too. If you book by FRIDAY 23rd October you get a heavily reduced ticket price! Book tickets here

Please let Helen S know when you have booked on and we will coordinate travel in a whatsapp group nearer the time.
