Harvest Supper Quiz:
Thanks to all who supported this fundraising event on Saturday evening via Zoom. Special thanks to our excellent hostess and quiz (3) mistress Angela, she put together a fun evening with some wide-ranging questions and a few challenging ones! Congratulations to the winning team including Janine, Mike, Pauline and Brian – you were awesome! Thanks also to Vicci for talking to us in the interval and telling us a little more about herself and her journey to Windsor. Apart from enjoying the fellowship the quiz was intended as a fundraising event and if you are able to make a donation it will be shared between helping the work of the Whitechapel Mission as we would normally do at harvest time and our own church, whose funds are now dangerously low. If you are able to contribute please make cheque payable to Windsor Methodist Church and send to our Treasurer.
Words of Encouragement from the Bible: with thanks to Alan

Prayer: ‘Eternal God and Father, you are the source of all life, the fount of all wisdom, the well-spring of all grace. Your days are without end, your loving mercies without number. We depend on you: and we remember your goodness to us and to those who have gone before us. We pray for the Church. We pray for all those striving for justice. We pray for those suffering with COVID-19 and its effects. We pray for those we know and love who need our prayers. We offer all our prayers in and through the name of our living Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.’
