Christian Aid and Leprosy Mission Giving 2021
In view of the fact that the usual local collections for Christian Aid are unlikely to be made this year, CTE will be making a donation to Christian Aid to add to any donations made by individual Churches. This is in addition to a donation to the Leprosy Mission. This year all donations made to Leprosy Mission will be matched by an identical donation by the UK Government.

On the afternoon of Sunday 11th July Churches Together in Eastcote held its AGM, service and social in the car park of St Thomas More.
We were blessed with warm and dry weather and we enjoyed meeting up after a long period of enforced separation. Members of the St Thomas More Folk Group played and we were able to sing together.
This was a joy, as was the opportunity to listen to messages of hope from the Old Testament, and to a wonderful poem written by the late Doreen Warman, whose writings have so often enhanced our CTE services.
We give thanks for this event and look forward to resuming our usual meetings and activities in the autumn.

CTE Joint Virtual Carol Service - online from 14th December, 8pm, for a few more weeks
Churches Together in Eastcote produced a Carol Service which went live on Monday 14th December 2020 at 8pm. We hope many of you managed to join our worship and sing along on 14th, so that we were united in our praise and prayers. The service can still be accessed for a few more weeks through this link on Youtube. The song "Glory to God and Peace to All" which was sung during the service was written and performed by Fr Martin Plunkett.

11th November 2020
Remembrance Day has been different this year, but Churches Together in Eastcote wanted to show our gratitude and support for those who have given so much in the service of our country. We made a donation to the Royal British Legion and purchased a poppy cross from them, which was laid and photographed by two committee members.

God grant to the living grace, to the departed rest, to the Church, the Queen, the Commonwealth and all people, unity, peace and concord, and to us and all God's servants, life everlasting. AMEN

Owing to the restrictions placed on all of us during the current health crisis, CTE has had to postpone its AGM which was due to take place on June 28th. The committee held a virtual meeting to accept the Chair's and Treasurer's reports which are now being made available to you and which can also be accessed below. We had invited the Medaille Trust, an organisation working to combat modern slavery, to address the AGM meeting. They have created a video for us which you can access below. This is a very informative video and we hope you will find it of interest; you may also want to support their work and the video contains details of various ways of doing this. We hope to find a way of supporting the Medaille Trust at a future event, and we would value your feedback as to this idea. When we are allowed to meet again CTE will hold a public AGM and a service of thanksgiving to which all will be warmly invited.
