Last week Linda asked “How do you show Gods love?” and gave us all a challenge.
The Challenge is to ask yourself these questions:
Small acts of kindness can make a massive change to someones life. The little things we do often make the biggest difference.
It could be as small as giving a smile, or saying hello to someone in the street. Perhaps paying for someone to have a cup of tea or offer words of encouragement. Offer a helping hand, give flowers to a stranger, or offer to pray with someone.
This week, Linda asks that we continue with this challenge throughout the advent period and she also extended the challenge asking us to buy an anonymous gift “For a stranger with God’s love”.
If you do something, no matter how small or insignificant you feel it is, Let Iain know and he will publish it on our website.

Christmas Tree Service is 8th December. New toys please, if wrapped please state age and gender.
The next 3 streets/projects in the Latchford area are Cumberland Street, Oldham Street and Latchford Christian Fellowship
Please pray for the groups who use Trinity and the outreach work done there. As we celebrate Christ’s birth, let us remember the families whose Christmas is made a happier tie because of the hampers they receive from trinity Kings Cross and give thanks to all the people who support the project. Remember also, the refugees, asylum seekers and trafficked people who are far away from home and fine some companionship at Trinity Safe Space. Amen.

We pray for the work on our garden which allows us to be more visible in our community and gives us a space to invite the community in and to become involved in planting and caring for our environment. Give us the opportunity to speak and share our faith and to invite the community into our building and into worship. We pray for Transform North West who are using our school hall that they may reach out to the lost generations and help them to know your love for them. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

As we celebrated our 125th Church Birthday, reflected on the past and looked forward to the future we learnt that the “National Lottery Community Fund” has accepted our application for a grant.
The following week, as we commenced our first worship service in our 126th year, we received word that our application had been successful. We have been awarded a grant of £6,200 for an Architectural Feasibility Study.
This study is needed to draw up the changes we need to make to our property to allow us to fulfil our mission and worship goals.
This success is due to our funding adviser, Enid, and the hard work of all our own growth teams.
This is one large step along the path we need to follow and the timing of these events suggests our Lord is blessing our direction.
We also need to say thank you for the funding from The National Lottery Community Fund.
The fundraising team are holding a handbag auction on Friday 1st November at 7.30pm. £1 entrance fee on the door. Free nibbles! Everyone is welcome to attend for what will be a fun and enjoyable night.

Action for Children Christmas Concert will be on Thursday 5th December at 7pm at Liverpool cathedral.

Eric Williams sadly passed away this week. His funeral will take place on Tuesday 29th October at 11:00am at Walton Lea crematorium. Our thoughts and prayers are with Marjorie, Jayne, Mike and all the family.
Instead of a toy stall at this year’s Christmas fayre there will be a Christmas Hampers stall. If anyone would like to donate to these with groceries or toiletries, please put them in the box on the stage.
The fundraising team are holding a handbag auction on Friday 1st November and are looking for handbags that people no longer use. Please can you give them to Joyce or Margaret F.

We especially pray at this time for our new church youth projects and for our larger community of young children as they take exams and prepare also for their future. Lord may your love and guidance be with us all at this time of renewal and change, in Jesus name. Amen

In a time of transition and change we pray for the churches of the Sankey Valley Circuit and all those who hold offices in our churches. We see resources declining as ministers move away and no new ministers move in to replace them. Help us to see this situation not in the context of decline, bus as a challenge to reflect on what our churches do and whether we can operate more effectively by working together. We pray that the holy Spirit will show us how best to respond to the challenge of changing times and to see in this changing context, opportunities for mission and service. Remind us that God’s love for all creation never changes.

On Sunday we shared our birthday celebrations and the love we have for God with the people of Latchford by distributing birthday cakes.
At 11am we gave, with our love, 190 cakes away in the Latchford village, followed by a further 90 cakes later in the day.
A special thanks to everyone who provided / baked the cakes, prepared them for sharing and to those who walked them around the village. We are truly blessed. xxx
As part of our growth plan, we have submitted what will be the first of several grant applications. This grant, if successful, will be used to engage an architect to produce a feasibility study followed by more detailed plans in order that estimated costs can be produced and a firm and fundable plan can be adopted.
During our 125th Celebrations we have taken photographs that we plan to upload onto our website and store for prosperity. If anyone has any objections to their photograph not appearing then please let Linda know.
For everyone who took any photographs over the weekend, please feel free to share your photographs with Iain, for adding to our records and website.

The Going Deeper group is studying a course which explores the journey of faith in words and music. This includes hearing new worship music as well as more well-known items. There is no need to be “musical” – most of us currently meeting aren’t! – but it gives the opportunity to pay more attention to the words and music of hymns and songs than we usually have the time for in worship. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Mondays in October (7th & 21st) and November (4th & 18th) in the lounge at 1.30-2.45pm. Everyone is welcome.

We ask these prayers in the name of your Son, Jesus. Amen. Minister: Rev Jenny MacGregor

The next 3 streets/projects in the Latchford area are Rock Road, Brook Place and Latchford Baptist
We pray for Padgate as it works on its new strategy for growth. For the team in the church leading it. For the church’s ongoing mission and service among the local community. We pray that through all that happens, people at Padgate will come to experience you in new and more wonderful ways. We pray that you will continue to inspire people there to spread your love; to grow in faith; to bear witness to the living Christ; and to seek to worship you in new and inspiring ways.
