The “summer” is drawing on to autumn and many f us have moaned about the weather this year, There has been a great deal of rain and cool weather and we have repeatedly groaned. It is so easy to become grumpy and moan when things are not exactly as we would like them to be. But stop and think – just how many things do we have to be grateful for. None of us has to go hungry. We have roofs over our heads (Perhaps we have been reminded of this as some of us have been giving to help the work of the Padley Centre in Derby which gives help to the homeless and many others in need). Most of us do not have to worry about where our next meal will come from. We have lives of peace and plenty. In our area we have been spared the floods that many parts of the country have been suffering. As I write, I give thanks that we are not in the parts of the world even at this moment being threatened by hurricane and other natural disaster.

Spend a few minutes listing the things that you have to be thankful for. However badly done to, you will find that there is a surprising number of things on your list. Go through your list every day, and add to it, thanking God for all His good gifts. That will be a good preparation for the season of Harvest Thanksgiving into which we move this month. Do come along and join in our special services in our various churches.

LONGFORD, St Chad
The Padley Centre, Derby – URGENT APPEAL

Many thanks to everyone who already donates packets of soup for the Padley Centre. Our last collection of soup packets was more than gratefully received.
This Derby based Charity provides food and shelter to socially deprived people in our area but unfortunately, demand for their help has meant that their reserves are almost depleted and they are in urgent need of donations. These can be in the form of money or food (packets or tins of soup, coffee, drinking chocolate, cereals, any tinned food, tomato and brown sauce, salad creams etc) In addition they would welcome toiletries, such as disposable razors, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo etc.
If you would like to help this very worthy cause, please leave gifts in Church or in the box at the front door of 1 Thatched Cottages (opposite Longford School). Many thanks in anticipation of your help.
Prayer Group
A prayer service for the local community begins at 7.30 p.m. on most Wednesdays (except the first Wednesday in each month).
