Warden's Notices from 16th November

• I draw your attention to the notices about "The Big Church Read" and "Question Time". The meeting on Thursday offers an opportunity for those who took part to share their experience and discuss questions that our book raised for them. "Question Time" at The Terriers is for anyone with questions about Christian faith.
• Every Friday until 12th December between 9.30am - 5.00pm. at Oakley Hall in Castle Street, there is a Christmas fair to raise money for the 'Wycombe Winter Night Shelter'. There are stalls with Cards, Gifts, Books etc. There are also refreshments in the coffee shop.
• Mollie Braisher and Norah Franklin send their thanks for the prayers and good wishes from friends at St Francis. Both are making good progress after their operation. Norah is at home and Mollie is on her way back to Wycombe. Both will, however, be out of action for some time—creating a problem on the church cleaning rota because the two of them make up a team. If you are able to help, please talk to Tony or to one of the wardens.
• There will be an evening for all who are interested in the Church’s healing ministry at St Mark's, Bourne End, on Wednesday at 7.30 p.m. More details from Tony or Val.
• Finally: Bishop John is leading a pilgrimage to Taizé for young people next year. There are leaflets on the table.

The Christmas Fair is coming

Thanks to Jim Carey and his helpers, plans for the Christmas Fair in the Church Hall on Saturday 22nd November are well advanced. Attractions will include:

• Craft Stalls
• Raffle
• Tombola
• Treasure Hunt
• A variety of food stalls
• Santa's Grotto

More help is needed, as are donations for some of the stalls - contact Jim Carey for more information. Flyers are available in church for display and distribution, or why not download a poster to print and display?

We're one of Buckinghamshire's Favourite Churches

To mark their Golden Jubilee, the Buckinghamshire Historic Churches Trust have published a 148-page book about the history and architecture of fifty churches in the historic county, and Terriers church is one of these. The book is illustrated with numerous full-colour pictures and is available from the church bookstall.
