CAP Life Skills - Living on a Limited Income
People struggling to choose between food or heat may be interested in an eight-week course designed to help identify the skills they need to live well on a low income. Members of the course will learn practical money saving techniques which will include: living healthily for less, making their money go further and cooking on a budget.

The course will be hosted by Malvern Baptist Church in association with CAP (Christians Against Poverty). It has been developed to complement CAP’s respected debt counselling service and will be run by a friendly group who plan to give clients the confidence and decision-making skills to live on less. Each course member will receive informal support from one of our Life Skills coaches.
The course begins on Thursday 1st Oct and runs from 10.15-11.45am for eight weeks. To sign up for the course let Dave Clarke know on 07838833317 or go onto the website https://capuk.org/gethelp/cap-life-skills# and enter your postcode. The course is free of charge and will be held at the Help Centre, Malvern Football Club, Langland Avenue, Malvern WR14 2EQ.

Ring Rev Dave Clarke 01684 569110 for more details. Invitation cards are available at the rear of the church to help you invite your friends and family.

Prayer Meetings Questionnaire

At a recent Leaders’ Away day we were discussing corporate prayer meetings and decided it would be good to gauge people’s opinions on these through a questionnaire (which is an attachment to this news sheet). If you have a printer then please print it out, complete it and return it to church and put in the marked box at the rear of church. If you cannot print it out then there will be printed copies at church for you to complete. We urge you to participate as we feel this is an important part of the church’s ministry. The results will be collated and discussed at the next church meeting Sept 13th.

We want you to be honest, and to help this, adding your name to this will be entirely optional. We do recognise that prayer outside these meetings takes place, e.g. in home groups, in prayer partnerships and individually.

Recycling
Following the church meetig and looking at what was tiked on the sheet, Angela has signed up to a recycling programme that will give BBGA money for recycling biscuit and snack wrappers. We can recycle any brand of biscuit, cracker and cake wrappers such as digesties, rich tea etc. This includes the likes of Penguin's etc but not chocolate bars like Mars, Snickers etc, or the inside plastic tray as they are made from a diffrent material. Cardboard innards should go in household recycling. Please bring clean and dry wrappers to church and deposit in the box. We need a kg before we can send a shipment. Each kg earns 200points and we get a 1p per point.
