We are holding our Harvest Festival on Sunday 6th November, and also collecting for Chepstow Foodbank - I have just checked their website, and they currently have enough pasta, tinned carrots and tins of baked beans / pulses generally, but would appreciate donations of jam, tinned fish, tinned soup or cup-a-soup, pasta sauces and toiletries. If you'd rather donate cash, that is also very welcome.

We are also nearly at the start of the Ministry Area - the new group will be commissioned by Bishop Cherry on Sunday 27th and it would be lovely to have as many people as possible in St Marys for this service.

Thanks all!
