The Magazine, September 2004

Deadline for October magazine: 15th September

Jill with a 'J' says

Dear Readers
"What has happened to our Parish magazine this month ?"  I can hear you all cry as you flick through this somewhat reduced edition!  Well, we don't normally publish at this time of year but I felt you should all have the Parish Diary for September, as I wouldn't want anyone to miss out on their harvest Festival Service or suppers.
See you next month.

Regards

Jill with a 'J'

Alice C Henderson looks back on summer fields . . . . .

The Harvest
The silver rain, the shining sun, The fields where scarlet poppies run, And all the ripples of the wheat Are in the bread that I do eat. So when I sit for every meal And say a grace, I always feel That I am eating rain and sun, And fields where scarlet poppies run.

A Heartfelt Thank You

I am writing this note of thanks to you all for your prayers and good wishes during my recent stay in Heatherwood Hospital.
I am very relieved to say that all went well with this left hip replacement and I came out of hospital on Saturday 7th August using walking sticks, a great improvement of the previous right hip replacement. I cannot praise the staff at Heatherwood enough for the care and attention that I received, the ward was spotless and the attention paid to hygiene was excellent. Joyce and I would like to say how much we valued your thoughts, cards, prayers and visits. It is early days and so I will not be able to come to any of the services for a little while, but if you would like to visit of phone me at home I would be delighted
Once again I would like to say how much I valued your thoughts and prayers during my hospitalisation and also how much I will value your continued Christian friendship.
