Sunday
As ever, it was lovely to worship with you all yesterday as we explored 'How to Handle Money' with Enid as part of our Challenging Lifestyles series. Has the Abba earworm has made its way through your system yet? It was great to be challenged not just to be generous with our money to to carefully think about where and how we obtain and spend it. If you missed it, you can catch up here. 

This Sunday we are taking a break from our series to celebrate All Saints Day. At the 10:30am service we are thrilled to be baptising Vivian, Connie and Sam and welcoming them into our community as they make a public profession of faith. I'm sure they would appreciate your prayers in the run up and your support in person on the day.

Pledge Packs
Hopefully by now, you have picked up a pledge pack and have had time to prayerfully consider your giving to St. Stephen's. A gentle reminder to return your forms so that we can firm up the budget for next year.

Tearfund Quiz - 16th November
Now is the time to start gathering your team for the quiz night. Perhaps your Connect Group can enter or maybe your friends/neighbours love a quiz? Even if you don't have a team, come along and we can find you a team who would love to adopt you.

Christmas Fair - 30th November
Get the date in the diary now for our annual Christmas Fair! There are so many ways you can help out including running stalls, baking cakes to sell, donating toys/books/bric a brac or serving mulled wine. Sign up on Sunday!

I am having a bit of annual leave this week to go and see my mum in Devon but will be back on Friday and working at the weekend.

God bless and have a great week!
