We have put an application in with Natwest Community Force to receive up to 6,000 of funding. It is based on people voting for their favourite projects. Please can I encourage everybody to go onto the website and register and then vote for The Well. The more votes we get the better chance we have of receiving some funding. To vote, please visit natwest.com/communityforce by 23rd October 2011. Operation Christmas Child Operation Christmas Child is the largest Childrens project in the world, run by the Christian charity Samaritans Purse. Last year children and adults wrapped and packed around 1.12 million shoe boxes full of gifts and goodies, which were then sent to disadvantaged children across Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia. I would like to encourage members of the church to take part and pack a shoe box for a disadvantaged child. Leaflets are now available on the welcome desk and as of next week there will be shoe boxes available to take. Please bring your completed shoe box to church on either 30th October or 6th November. If you need any further information please ask me. Thank you, Rachel Budby. Rotas The new Wednesday morning reading rotas are in the pigeon holes.

Woodhead in the next two weeks. For your diary: As a result of how well this was received last year, on Sunday 20th November at 7.30 pm, replacing the Cathedral's evening worship, the YPC are once more presenting Messiah, Handels choral masterpiece which centres around the first and second comings of Christ. Attending Messiah, annually, usually in the approach to Advent and Christmas, was once a great tradition in this part of the world, that may no longer be generally so, but it can be a moving and blessed experience, so if you havent done so for some time, or ever, why not take the opportunity. Tickets will be similarly priced and available soon, watch for a further notice, or order them from Derek or Stephanie in adva Worship Rotas Sunday 23rd October 10.30 am - Communion.
