Kingsland News October 2016 While Julie enjoys a well-earned holiday, I am writing this month’s front page. As I write, the remains of the amazing H-Art exhibition are being cleared from the church. What a pleasure it was to see the number of people who visited the church for this event, most of whom are not ‘regulars’. The sales of art work have gone very well, so with 25% commission SMAAAK stands to be much better off as a result. Thanks must go to all who manned the church whilst it was open, and especially to Dee Wurm and Jim Davies, who practically lived there for the fortnight during which the exhibition was set up, open, and removed! Thanks, too, to all who attended Tim Noon’s Organ Recital at the very beginning of September. As a result of this event the church banked £900 and at the same time most people seemed very much to enjoy rehearsing and performing the ‘Last Night of the Proms’ music in the second half. The hymns used at ‘Harvest Festivals’ are amongst the best in the book, and your opportunity to sing them at Kingsland Church will be on the evening of Thursday, October 13th at 7pm. Come and give rousing thanks to God for a fine and productive summer. At the end of the service a Harvest Supper will be served at a cost of £10.
This will include the first drink free! Please write your name on the form at the back of the church or tell Jean Barbour that you intend to be there, because this helps to make the catering more efficient! October is a ‘five-Sunday’ month and the fifth Sunday Benefice Service on the 30th will be a ‘Taizé’ Service at Eardisland beginning at 10.30 am. This will be a restful, gentle event with singable, peaceful music, and I recommend it to you, David Noon (Editor)
