A new newsletter for Chesterton
A pilot edition of a community newsletter for Chesterton will be distributed around households in the next week or two. You can read an electronic version here. Chesterton News has been produced by a group of community and church representatives and will go out to all in the wards of East and West Chesterton. So there will be no Chesterton Chimes this month - church info is incorporated in the News. Chimes will reappear in February and decisions in the meantime will be made about whether to continue the community newsletter or Chimes or both – your comments are welcome (admin at standrews-chesterton.org).
Unfortunately, in the list of Christmas services at St Andrew’s we managed to miss out those on Christmas Day! Be assured that there will be a service of Holy Communion at 8am (Book of Common Prayer) and an All-age Communion at 10am.

Hooray and Hiss
The party on All Hallows’ Eve on Monday 31 October from 4.30 until 6pm was a great time for children and adults. Everyone came as his or her favourite Gooddie or Baddie. So we had a real mixture!
We started in St. Andrew’s Hall with different craft tables where you could make pumpkins and masks or just draw pictures to stick on the pillars. Also there was a table where you put your hands into different bowls with disgusting things in them and a play corner for toddlers.
After having refreshments we went to the Church. There we spoke about how we are all Children of God, even if on some days we feel a bit more like a baddie than a superhero or a princess… All the children got a white paper crown, so we were all different in our characters but equal before God.
We had a wonderful time and look forward to seeing you all there next year! Hooray!!
