am Parish Eucharist Junior Church takes a break during the school holidays, so during
the month of August, all our 9.30 am services will be designed to welcome all ages. The church wardens have made arrangements
for the Darby Room to be available for anyone who needs to move about. There will be toys and books laid out, and
the service will be relayed into the room via the loud speakers. Every
Thursday morning at 10.00 there is a quiet Eucharist at St Luke’s, followed
by coffee. Everyone is welcome. Study: Tuesdays at 11.00 a.m. West End Room at St Luke’s. We study the passages set for the
forthcoming Sunday, then share lunch together with members of the Avenue
Club. New for the Autumn: We shall be
embarking on a 6 week course of study in October and November, based at the
Barn Church, at 8pm on Wednesday evenings either side of half term. Each session will address particular areas
of our faith and will allow for presentation, debate and prayer. More details will follow through the
summer. The Summer
Fete: Many congratulations to everyone
and especially to Anne Jeffries for the fine result of our Summer Fete. Over £1800 was raised, our best total
every, and a fine day was had by everyone.
The Kew Community Choir sang impressively on their first ever public
performance, and the Queen’s School Yr2 choir were enchanting. Children: The Parent & Toddler Groups on
both Monday
mornings and Friday
mornings will not be held during the school holidays, as the Kew Out of
School Club will be offering holiday play facilities for the 5-11 yr olds
from 8.30 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. There will
also be two weeks of activities for children aged 11-15 at Pensford
Field. Contact Richard Ferriday on
8392 1324 for further details Music: Both the Kew Community Choir & our Church Choir are taking
well-earned breaks during August P.C.C.
News: At its latest meeting, the
Parochial Church Council reviewed our work with children, our involvement at
the Queen’s School and the part we play in our Deanery of Richmond and
Barnes. Figures were provided giving a
detailed breakdown of income and payment for the first quarter of 2010. While they showed an excess of income over
expenditure, they also included the once-a-year payment of tax reclaimed from
the Inland Revenue as a result of Gift-Aided giving. In the remaining three quarters of the
year, income will have to be substantially raised if we are to meet our
projected expenditure of £80,000. The
income from the summer fete (see above) represents only 1/3rd of
our monthly outgoings. With only the
Barn Dance and the Christmas Fair as fundraising events to come this year, we
must all examine our levels of giving and ensure that we are tax-efficient
and Gift-Aid our donations so that the parish can maximise its income. But here is another idea: Are you a
runner? Do you run 10k in
under 80 minutes? The 2nd
Richmond River Run will be held on 5th September, starting &
finishing at St Anne’s Kew. Why not
enter, and raise sponsorship money for the Barn Church. For more details, visit: www.richmondriverrun.co.uk
