It's tomorrow! Please come and have a lovely afternoon supporting a really good cause.
All Saints Church is OPEN for public worship on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month at 9.30 am and on the 1st Sunday of the month at 6pm. Please see our "Who's Who" page for contact details of keyholders. Rector: Lorna Brabin-Smith 01522 794868 lorna.brabinsmith@btinternet.com.
Thank you to everyone for your support! We raised a splendid £600 at the Harvest Supper and £426 at Patrick Bennett's concert. This means that so far this year you have helped raise £4736 to repair our lovely church building so that it will be here for future generations.
A big thank you to everyone who supported the Harvest Thanksgiving and Harvest Supper yesterday. An especially massive thank you to the catering team who did a fantastic job with the supper, as always. We raised £180 for Water Aid. The final amount raised for the Church Repair Fund will be confirmed when it's all been added up!
I copy this from the foodbank's own site and they always acknowledge the generosity of the people of Nocton. You are greatly appreciated.
This week’s Most Wanted List looks like this:
Tinned meats
Tinned soups
Tinned vegetables
Pasta sauces
Pasta (all varieties)
Toiletries
Cleaning materials
Cereals
Tickets are still available for the Harvest Supper at 5pm on Sunday 20 Sept! No ticket is required for the Harvest Thanksgiving service immediately before it at 4pm and you don't have to come to one in order to attend the other.
Please be aware that the service at Potterhanworth next Sunday morning, 6 September, will be Morning Prayer, not Eucharist.
We have a quantity of old terracotta roof tiles no longer needed for Nocton Parish Church.
One
or two people have asked whether they could have some the tiles over
recent years, but we’ve always said that we needed to keep them for the
south porch roof.
The south porch roof has now been repaired,
and there are still quite a lot of tiles left over. So we’d like to
offer them people in the village – for a suitable donation - before we
offer them more widely.
The tiles are roughly 27cm long and 16.5cm wide. The majority are square ended, but some have rounded ends.
If you would like some of the tiles please contact Revd Lorna via email lorna.brabinsmith@btinternet.com

The end of the Christmas and Epiphany season is on Candlemas, 2 February. We take down the church Christmas decorations after that and Christmas wreaths are removed from the churchyard as these are looking very tired by then. If you are able to remove Christmas wreaths from graves, it would really help us if you could do that, but if not we are happy to remove them for you. Thank you.
