Rob is recuperating at home so we have no magazine (Get well soon Rob) – I didn’t think you’d want another missive from me – so please take a look at all the many events above which are planned for September alone in addition in most cases to our normal services. Lots of regulars have holidays in September so your attendance, support and help could make a real difference. Let’s enjoy doing some fun and rewarding things together in September as the family of God.
