Methodist Women in Britain (MWiB)
‘magnet’ Magazine:
Magnet is an excellent Christian magazine, published three times a year, which has very strong links with Methodist women. We are now embarking on a new stage of our journey as we join forces with and come under the wing of Hymns Ancient & Modern who will take over publication of Magnet from 1 August. We as MWiB continue to wish Magnet every possible success and to pledge our ongoing partnership, support, prayer and commitment to the magazine and all involved in its production. Visit the Magnet website for more news and to subscribe.
Judith Naylor is going to place the order for the next year’s subscription to the ‘magnet’ magazine very soon. The annual cost is £16. If you wish to continue (or start!) receiving this interesting magazine, please let Judith (or Graham Dickinson) know by the end of September – and let Graham have payment. Otherwise, Judith will assume you do not wish to continue to receive the magazine. Thank you.

Walking Group - Temple Trekkers
Usually meet most Monday mornings for a walk of between 5 and 7 miles. Recent walks have included a very wet walk starting from Barrington Court, a delightful walk amongst the snowdrops on Exmoor and a very local walk of half of the Foxglove route around Taunton.
Lifts can be arranged if you fancy joining us now the weather is, hopefully, improving.
Contact Kathryn Turner.
