October update from St George's Edgbaston

Dear friends,

Please find attached The Pewsheet for October 2025.

I hope you'll forgive the slightly early October update, but there are just so many exciting things happening in church at the moment and this is keeping your Vicar busy!

Coming up soon

Saturday 27th September, 3.30-5pm: The Big Church Clean-up

Please come along and help clean the church in anticipation of Bishop Michael's visit. All ages and abilities welcome.

Sunday 28^th September, 10.30am: Sung Eucharist with Bishop Michael

The Bishop of Birmingham will preside and preach as we celebrate baptisms, admissions to communion, confirmations and the licensing of Lis Fisher as Reader.

We will be celebrating afterwards with wine and soft drinks. We'd love to see you!

Sunday 5^th October, 10.30am: Harvest Festival service followed by Bring & Share lunch

We are collecting non-perishable foodstuffs and toiletries for Brushstrokes Foodbank, Sandwell. Please bring these in next week or on 5^th October.

We warmly invite you to one of our legendary Bring & Share lunches after the service. If you can, please bring sweet and/or savoury dishes from your own culture.

Looking ahead

All Souls Service, Sunday 2^nd November, 5pm

This is an opportunity to pray for the departed including our own loved ones. We have a new Chantry (memorial) Book, given in memory of Caroline Shaw.

If you would like to include names in the book please email them to me by Friday 17th October, along with the date when the person died. These will be written into the book and prayed for every year.

With every prayer and blessing,

Sam
