Kingsland News October 2014 Dear Parishioners, Having listened to the needs of the families of the church, the service that happens on the 3rd Sunday of the month (this time the harvest communion service on the 19th October) is designed for all ages! We will be all together in church and it will be a FAMILY COMMUNION service. As well, the church is putting on “Open the Book” on the 1st Wednesday of the month at 2pm in church. It is a dramatic presentation of a bible story, with a hymn and a prayer. Kingsland School will be coming along, and it is open to all the families. There will be coffee and tea served from 2pm so come along for a chat and then at 2.30pm the action will begin. Two new ventures for the families of the parish. Wednesday October 1st is ‘Open the Book.’ Thank you SMAAAK for hosting H Art in church in September! The church looked stunning and many passed through the doors. The SMAAAK Annual Meeting is coming up at the beginning of October with
a chance to be thankful for all SMAAAK has achieved this last year . I am thankful to those who responded to the July plea for Planned Giving and have been encouraged by the response of those who have changed their way of giving, thus enabling the financing of the general running costs of the church to be more stable. We are not there yet but certainly things are better. So thank you! Well the mists are beginning to mark the beginning of the days, and autumn is on its way, - a time to give thanks not just for the summer but for the harvest and those who work the land. The harvest is gathered in (well the potatoes and apples may well be being brought in as we go to print) but it is time to stop and give thanks, to look back and acknowledge all that has been, the miracle of growth and the frustrations of weeds, the wonderful summer, all the hard work and the results from which we all benefit. Harvest thanksgiving this year is on Thursday 16th October at 6.30pm
