Spire Brand Marmalade: Will next be on sale TODAY, Sunday,
4th November. Jilly B
InSpire: Material for next edition of the magazine to
Richard H. by 24th November please.
Use It or Lose It: Have you ever been to Evensong? We get
good congregations for our Choral Evensongs and special series of
services in Advent and Lent, but sadly the ‘ordinary’ fortnightly
Evensongs are not well supported. Those who do attend appreciate the
space for quiet worship, the music (using traditional chants which
are part of our Anglican heritage) and the opportunity to pray and
hear a sermon. Why not try it, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Thursday Teas: on 8th November will be an outing to a
Garden Centre, leaving church at 1.45pm. If you need a lift from
home, please contact Phyllis (T.672006). The next teas in the Parish
Centre will be on 13th December.
Thursday Group Raffle: At our last meeting, Eunice Goodman
created a painting in the style of Monet. When she has completed it
she is more than happy for it to be raffled to raise more funds for
the RNID. We thought it would be rather nice if everyone had the
opportunity to win this wonderful painting. Raffle tickets will be
on sale each Sunday and the winning ticket will be drawn at our
meeting on 15th November. Tickets costing £1 can be purchased from
either myself, Jan Cheek or Sue Hinchliffe. Thank you for your
support. Sonya
Coffee Evening with Chocoholics & Christmas Cards:
Wednesday, 7th November at 30 Mallow Park at 8pm. Everyone is
welcome for a sociable evening, with the commission from the

details.

lederhosen, etc. for the Austrian evening in January.
Swimarathon: Please note that the Swimarathon is a week
later than usual and is on Saturday, 12th January 2008. As usual
St.Luke’s welcomes everyone willing to swim, support , or sponsor.
St.Luke’s FINS (Friends in Need of a Swim): are swimming
every Tuesday at 2pm at the Leisure Centre. All sexes, ages, sizes,
shapes and ability welcomed! Meet in the foyer at 2pm. (free to over
60’s). Further information if needed from Jean T-D (T.626671)
Windsor Pantomime – Cinderella: If you would like to be
part of the St.Luke’s Group going to see Cinderella starring Wayne
Sleep, Jan Leeming and two ‘Any Dream Will Do’ finalists at Windsor
Theatre Royal on Friday, 4th January at 7.30pm, please see Ann or
Richard Burdett as soon as possible. Tickets are £17.50 each and we
have our usual prime location at the front of the stalls, which is
good for catching the sweets!
St.Luke’s Wexham Park Hospital Team: Our team is now in
desperate need of more members. Sadly two of our team are moving
away which means we will not have enough people to fulfil the task
of taking worship to the patients, friends and staff of the
hospital. We do need between 6-8 people to successfully share both
our Christian Faith and an act of worship. Sadly, I feel it will
mean that if we cannot field a team I will have to inform Paul
Deeming (Chaplain) that we will be unable to take our part on the
rota. Our commitment to this is about 4 Sundays a year. If you feel
you can help to share the love and worship of God with those whose
need is great, then please do contact me and I will be happy to
explain further what is needed. Many thanks for your consideration.

Maidenhead Care: Can you help? We need more Duty Officers

them, if we are to continue our complete Monday – Friday service to
the community. One day, or even half day each month would be
invaluable, and friendly training will be given. For more details
