Rev. Richard Atkinson: October 2020

Dear Friends,

This letter comes with much love from the community at church. You will find included information about some of our charitable endeavours, which I commend to you, information from Rod Thorpe (a member at our Chinnor church) about Traidcraft and an appeal about some work on church security from Tim Olufosoye.
Importantly can I remind that we are continuing with Sunday worship. We have not yet run out of seats but there is a gradual trickle of folk returning. We are providing activities for children to follow during the service while we continue to reflect on how the JTeam might operate in a Covid secure way. Worship is different, due to the rules we have to operate under, but we are striving to respond the best we can to the challenging circumstances in which we operate.

Geoff shares thoughts on this uncompromising piece from Amos 9:1-10.Israel to Be Destroyed1 I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said: "Strike the tops of the pillars so that the thresholds shake. Bring them down on the heads of all the people; those who are left I will kill with the sword. Not one will get away, none will escape. 2 Though they dig down to the depths below, from...
