NOTICES
Vacancy Process
Thank you to all for your concern, and prayers for the interview day, the 21st of September.
The interview panel had a good day and met some lovely people.
However, in the end, they were not able to make an appointment. This was a unanimous decision by the interview panel. I and they are not able to give any more details, so please don't ask us!
Whilst this will come as disappointing news, we look forward to the right candidate being appointed in due course. The process will restart shortly and the post will be advertised again. Please keep praying! Rev Siân

Diabetes Challenge
Rev Siân is trying to walk at least 500,000 steps by the end of September to raise money for Diabetes UK. She is already on 586,424. She will see how many she can do by the end of the challenge which is at the end of September.
Did you know someone is diagnosed with diabetes every two minutes? As many as 4.8 million people are living with diabetes in the UK right now. That's why this summer I'm taking steps for my own body and for everybody living with diabetes.
As many of you know as I live with Fibromyalgia so this is not going to be the easiest challenge I have ever done but challenging things are good for body and soul. So for all the mums, dads, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, grandparents, and best friends. Please hit the donate button and support my stepping challenge. Every step and every donation counts.

Harvest Festival 14th October
This year we are celebrating Harvest Festival in a slightly different way - in the afternoon! Everyone is invited to come to our Community Harvest Festival at St Mary's on Friday 14th October at 2.30 pm. This will be led by the Church and School together and will include traditional harvest hymns as well as contributions from the School. After the service everyone is invited to the Village Hall for tea and cake (cake donations welcome).
Gifts of produce or flowers for decorating the church can be left in church from Thursday (if you would like to help with this, please contact Christine Waugh on 01765 603802).
Gifts of tinned or packeted food can be left in the church or brought to the service and will then be taken to the local food bank. The cash collection at this service will be given to Water Aid to help bring clean water to those who need it most.
Bacon Church returns on Thursday 20th October – drop in between 8.45am and 9.45am for a bacon roll (gf and vegetarian sausage options also available), fresh coffee or tea. Bring your friends, have a chat, come and make new friends. At about 9.30 we will have a very short prayer for our community and our world. All welcome!
Printer Cartridge Recylcle
Thank you to all those, from right across our group of parishes, who have been saving their used printer cartridges and giving them to us for recycling. Since April we have raised almost £70 and saved 198 from going into landfill. We already have more to send off. Please keep collecting and leave them in the box at the back of church or give them to Rev Sian, Jane Mansell or any member of North Stainley Church.
West Tanfield
Work is progressing well at St Nicholas’ Church, West Tanfield, on the installation of toilet facilities, changes to the position of the font and creation of a new vestry. The work is likely to take 12 weeks and during this time the church will be closed during the week but we will be open for Sunday services as usual.
PLEASE let Judith know of any plans you have for your Autumn or Christmas upcoming events if you would like them to be included in these and the email notices, please contact Judith Richards at ad.mashamparishes@gmail.com.
