Amongst other things, this weekend’s news sheet gives details of our “Love Aldwick – Family Harvest Special weekend” which will be taking place on Saturday 2nd October and Sunday 3rd of October. As usual we are inviting you to make food donations for our local Food bank. Please look at the list of items they really need. They definitely don’t want anymore baked beans!!!
Once again, I am going to leave you with a quote from D L Moody to think about over the next week.
“The Bible was not given for our information but for our transformation.”
This week make sure you are open to be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit working in your life through God’s word.

Have you ever been so busy that you don’t know what to do next? Well that sums up my week. Which is probably why I was particularly drawn to this quote from D L Moody, “Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray Him to empty us.” That is exactly what I need to do! Perhaps you feel the same? Derek.
11th September 2021. Today we held a surprise church lunch to celebrate Simon’s twenty five years in ministry and also to mark 3 years of his ministry here at ABC. Over 70 church members were joined by specially invited guests from Simon’s previous church at Aston Clinton for a an informal buffet followed by two short speeches. At lunch time Simon was told by Nicky to get ready to go for lunch with Diane, his mum. The family all piled into the car and Nicky then drove the 400m to the church whilst Simon was totally unaware of what was going on. The event was orchestrated by Brenda supported by a team of volunteers who somehow managed to keep the event under wraps. At the conclusion of the meal, after the speeches and the thanks, Simon was presented by a caricature drawn by a local caricaturist, Bob Bond. We all thought Bob captured Simon’s likeness very well.
The cake was made by David Hanchard and decorated by Helen Lawrey. Simon’s card was designed and created by Perrie Sims.
Tuesday 7th September 2021 – A new beginning. There was a real buzz about the place – a delicious smell of coffee and a lovely atmosphere. It was the first day of the new “Love Aldwick” Community Café run by Perrie Sims and her enthusiastic team, and 32 people (some already known to the church) and a number of new folk came together to enjoy one another’s company, sitting in groups around some tables and sitting on some colourful chairs.

There’s a lot of bad news, loneliness and heartache around and ABC simply want to bring a little of the sunshine of God’s love into the dark corners of life. As Perrie said “We just want to share and enjoy one another’s company and make a difference”. The Café only charges £1 per head but also sells yummy cakes and as it moves forward it will be seeking to share any profits and/or make donations to local charities. The Love Aldwick Café will run every Tuesday morning from 10am to 12 noon. There will also be occasional games, quizzes and guest presenters whilst the church will also be continuing to run a regular Luncheon Club and Craft Group and West Meads café followed soon by a “Toddler Time” and “Messy Church”.
This week, please think about this quote from Smith Wigglesworth. “There are four principles we need to maintain : First, read the Word of God. Second, consume the Word of God until it consumes you. Third believe the Word of God. Fourth, act on the Word of God.” Now that sounds like the recipe for a life that pleases and glorifies God. So what are you waiting for?

Do you sometimes struggle in prayer? If you do, then this week, why not start to read your Bible a little more and watch TV a little less. Why? Because as L Moody once said, “When I pray, I talk to God, but when I read the Bible, God is talking to me … I believe we should know better how to pray if we knew our Bibles better.”
Welcome to this morning’s online worship service. This online service is totally different to the family service being held in church today and is specifically for people who can’t get to church at the moment. We wanted you to know that we miss you and hope you are able to join us again soon.
Many of you will remember that our dear sister, Doreen Garbett, died suddenly two years ago. This week, in her memory, our online sermon will be a repeat of Doreen’s last sermon preached at ABC, in the evening of 16th June 2019. The title of her talk is, “Loving your neighbour” based on Mark 12:28-34.
