PACT NEWS – September update
At Kids Club at the Herbert Shiner Community Hall we hosted 112 children (from Petworth, Tillington, Duncton, Northchapel and Wisborough Green) who all had great fun learning about God’s wonderful world and how we can all be a part of his plan for the world. They spent the week creating all sorts of things including vehicles out of ‘junk’ (boxes and whatever they could lay their hands on) which were raced on the last day. Each morning was followed by the shared family picnic lunches with home-made cakes and plenty of fun on the bouncy castle too. Thank you to the 25 amazing teenage helpers, the many others who masterminded the activities and multiple brilliant bakers and volunteers across the week – thank you very much!
At the Cream Tea tent in the Fete in the Park we served 500 drinks and 200 scones and hundreds of prayer bubbles were sent up to heaven – incredible work by all the volunteers and scone-bakers, thank you very much!
Friday 11th October – Autumn Lecture at St Mary’s Petworth 7.30pm
The Autumn Lecture with Davina Irwin-Clerk is titled ‘A Day in the Life of a High Sheriff’. In her year as High Sheriff she is focussing on fractured families, marriage breakdown and children going into crisis, in a Christian context.

The Petworth Foodbank continues with about two/three calls a week – it is a privilege to be able to provide a practical helping hand to those in need. A big thank you to John Riddell who has steered the operation for the last 5 years – he’s now stepping down and the trusty team of volunteers will continue to support the recipients of food parcels. An enormous thank you to you all!
WEEKLY PARISH PRAYER - AT PLAISTOW CHURCH EVERY SATURDAY MORNING
Each Saturday morning at Holy Trinity Church in Plaistow we gather for half an hour of prayer, beginning at 8.30 am and finishing as the clock strikes nine o'clock. Everybody is welcome - whether you have something specific to pray for or not. You can voice your prayer openly or keep it private or simply affirm the prayers of others. It's not a service as such - there are no processions, rituals, hymns or music. We just sit around the big table and pray.
