Children’s Deanery Event – this Saturday - 19th October 2013, 2.00 – 4.30 pm at St Michael’s Church.  The title of this day is “Shake Rattle and Roll” – there’ll be singing, activities (including mosaic, making wind chimes, decorating biscuits…!)



Churchyard work party – 2nd November from 10.00 – 4.00 pm.  The day will include activities such as clearing invasive plants, clearing graves and litter picking, this is to enable us to survey the churchyard and decide on how best to manage the beautiful space we have.  We also want to start thinking how best to manage the memorial garden and improve the area as a place to sit and reflect.
This is our last clearance event of the year and we are hoping to finish off the day with a bonfire and - weather permitting - some jacket potatoes and a drink.  As before, no tools are required – please just come along. 





Mothers’ Union there is a Deanery MU event on October 26th at All Saints Highams Park in support of the Overseas Fund.  It starts with a Eucharist at 11.00 am, followed by lunch (£7.00) and Molly Hoyle giving a presentation on the work of the Literacy and Financial Education programme.  There is a sign-up sheet in church – please sign up if you are able to come.

This exciting 8-week course has been written - and will be led - by Sue Diplock, a member of the ministry team of St Peter's. The course will have a focus on many traditions within the contemplative strand of Christian prayer. (Sue is a trained expert in Ignatian Sprituality, Exercises & Direction.)

Sessions will be held on Monday evenings, this autumn – starting on the 14th October, in the Peterhouse Centre (122 Forest Rise, Walthamstow. E17 3PW): each session will commence at 7.45 pm and will finish between 9.00 pm and 9.15 pm.
All those in easy reach of Walthamstow are welcome. No prior knowledge is supposed.
