Changes at the Forum
and the St Andrew's Afternoon Teas
The Forum came into
being in 2004 with the winding up of the Afternoon Guild. Since then it has
met twice a month from September to May, on the second and fourth Tuesdays
of the month.
We shall continue to meet
twice a month, on the second and fourth Tuesdays.
In future the meeting
on the second Tuesday of the month will be an informal gathering at the St
Andrew’s afternoon tea. The meetings on the fourth Tuesday in the month will
be in the usual Forum format.
To accommodate these
changes there will be a change to the Afternoon Tea dates.
Beginning in October these will switch to the second Tuesday of the month
instead of the first.
All Forum meetings and
afternoon teas begin at 2.30 pm in the Garden Room, and we shall continue to
ask for the small fee of £1.50 for Forum meetings.
Everyone is welcome at
any of the Forum or Afternoon Teas
and we all look forward to welcoming you and your friends.
Knitters Needed!
Cheltenham Street Pastors are appealing for small
items of warm clothing that can be handed out when the weather is very cold.
Gloves, especially man-sized and woolly hats would be much appreciated.
Prayer
support is always welcome – is that a service you could offer?
