4 Thought for the month : Matthew, Chapter 6, verses Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. ALL SAINTS LUNCH CLUB Sunday Sept 23rd The September meeting of the lunch club will be a week later than usual on Sunday 23rd at the church hall at 12.30pm when we will be celebrating our 14 th birthday!

Padma, who won an MK Women Leaders award last year for her outstanding contributions to the community, told club members about the isolation that often occurs when people have to leave work, stop driving and give up many social activities due to failing eyesight. Kelvin Hack, acting president of the club, says We were really impressed to learn that Padma has set up Yoga, Tai Chi and even ballroom dancing classes for local blind people to give them a fresh interest in life. We also learned about her ongoing campaign to get a new Beacon system up and running in CMK s shopping centre, so that visually impaired people can be independent and find the shops they are looking for through their mobile phones. if you d like to get involved playing, coaching or volunteering, please get in touch.

I 7.30 p.m. Sunday 30th Friends of the School Car Boot Sale also MKC recycling team will have an awareness stall Car Park 10.30a.m p.m. Don't miss this opportunity to hear Karl Jenkins' acclaimed composition The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace, in Milton Keynes Theatre, on Sunday 14th October, at 7.30 p.m. The Danesborough Chorus is joined by Bedford Choral Society to perform this 20th century choral classic. The choirs welcome soloists Eve McGrath (soprano) and Naeem Mahmood (muezzin). Milton Keynes City Orchestra accompanies the performance and also opens the programme with the glorious Serenade for Strings by Antonín Dvořák. The Armed Man was commissioned by the Royal Armouries Museum for the Millennium celebrations," explains the conductor, Ian Smith. Using a wide range of texts, beginning with the 15th century folk song L'homme armé, Jenkins weaves an astonishing anti-war tapestry, from the dark menace of war to the bright hope for peace in a new millennium, interwoven with threads of reflection. The texts include extracts from the Catholic Mass, the Islamic call to prayer, Hindu and Japanese sources, the Bible and famous literary works. The Armed Man is a powerful and universal message to all, describing the descent into, and terrible consequences of, war. It examines conflict through the ages, including an especially poignant movement that reflects on the aftermath of the bombing of Hiroshima in World War II. The work ends with optimism, declaring Better is peace than evermore war', and a moving, unaccompanied setting of words, beginning 'God shall wipe away all tears', that is taken from the Book of Revelation. Jenkins' famously accessible music incorporates every mood and style, with military marches, Gregorian chant, dancing tunes, catchy rhythms and a few theatrical touches. It is especially effective when performed live and a perfect choice in this year that commemorates the centenary of the end of World War I. Tickets: 20, 17, 15 and 10, with 5 off all prices for under 18s.
