What’s New @ Messiah

Sunday Service Notes: The addition of the 11:00 am service in the sanctuary will start in October.  We want to clarify that this extra service will be held on a trial basis.  If there is sufficient in-person attendance at all three Sunday services, then the 11:00 am option in the sanctuary will be able to continue long term. Also, we will continue to offer both the self-serve style communion and the hand to hand delivery options for the foreseeable future.

Did You Know?: The first Sunday service of the Messiah Faith Family was held almost 50 years ago on October 3, 1971, in the Studley Grange Hall?  Were you in attendance?  Let us know your memories of that day by sending a note to elders@messiahbc.org

Fall Kickoff: Plan to join us in person on Sunday, September 12th.  There will be food, fun, and fellowship!  Save the date for now.  More details to follow soon.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES Kids' Creek Early Care and Education: We need to do some room shuffling, to prepare for the school year 2021-2022. We are looking for some extra hands on Monday and Tuesday, August 30 and 31, in the afternoon. If you have some spare time, please consider joining us at 1:00pm, either day.  Contact Jackie at jmaxwell@messiahbc.org if you have any questions.

Flood Update:  We are still working to get Dee into her home by Christmas. Currently, we are hanging siding, every Saturday, from 9:00am til 1:00pm. There are also opportunities to work any day during the week at her home. Contact flood@messiahbc.org to get an address. We are also looking for a few people to help move furniture into a home. Great to get Ron back into his home! Contact flood@messiahbc.org.

Orphaned baby wallaby hand-reared in rucksack

An orphaned baby wallaby is being hand reared in a rucksack after his mother died of pneumonia.

The tiny four-month-old joey, named Riley, has to be fed every four hours and carried everywhere in a substitute pouch by a keeper at Studley Grange Butterfly World and Farm Park near Swindon.

Julia Stewart, who has been looking after Riley, said it was “like having a baby or being pregnant all over…

National Trust Easter Egg Hunts

 Easter holidays are here, and lots of local attractions are open for the season, with plenty to entertain the kids in the spirit of spring – and some of the best ones have trails and hunts to keep them occupied and burn off some energy too.  

 National Trust properties have been running Easter Egg Hunts in association with Cadbury for several years now, and they are always very popular – so much so, that one year they almost ran out of chocolate at some venues!

 Shortcuts salons are all around the country, so we’ve picked out some of our favourite National Trust properties near you for an Easter Egg Hunt this year.

 Waddesdon Manor, Buckinghamshire: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/waddesdon-manor/features/easter-holidays-at-waddesdon-manor

 Designed as a holiday home, in the style of a French chateau, Waddesdon is a really special place. “Claim a chocolate prize or take part in a nature themed outdoor trail, suitable for all the family. You can also enjoy our beautiful grounds with stunning displays just starting to come into colour.”

 Dunster Castle, Somerset

 Dunster Castle is a fantastic day out – and you can even arrive by steam train. Built as a fortress, and evolving into a family home, there is lots to see and centuries of history to explore. At Dunster Castle this Easter:

 Cadbury Easter Egg Hunt: a rabbit's tale

6 - 28 April, 10am - 4pm

 Have a Go Archery and Pistol Shooting

7-10, 14-17, 21-24, April, 11am - 4pm

  Fountains Abbey, North Yorkshire: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/EasteratFountainsAbbey

 There aren’t many more beautiful walks than the one round Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal. Combine it with an Easter trail, and it’s the perfect family day out this spring.

 “Nature is gradually waking up at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal with daffodils blooming, primroses decorating grassy banks and the birds are filling the sky with song. Come along for a nature inspired trail, the Cadbury Easter Egg Hunt and crafts in Swanley Grange.”

  Hanbury Hall, Worcestershire: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/hanbury-hall-and-gardens/features/easter-at-hanbury-

 “We’re open every day during the Easter holidays, so come and see us to try your hand at our trails, hunts and activities. From Saturday 13 - Thursday 18 April and Tuesday 23 April - Sunday 28 April, our Easter holiday activities will take place with a Spring Nature trail through the parkland, discovering some of nature's secrets at Hanbury Hall. We also have our Cadbury Easter Egg Hunt taking place on the Easter weekend (19 – 22 April).”

  Sutton House and Breaker’s Yard, Hackney: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/sutton-house-and-breakers-yard

 Built by a Tudor courtier, Sutton House has been used by an astonishing number and variety of people down the centuries. Learn more about this unique building over the holidays. Follow the trail to uncover the traditions of Easter throughout history at Sutton House and Breaker’s Yard to win a chocolate egg when you finish.

 Enjoy the holidays, and don’t forget to tell us what you’ve been up to when you come in for your back to school haircut!
