ST. MARGARET‰S CHURCH, UXBRIDGE
Coffee Bar Volunteers Needed
St. Margaret's Church (The Nave) in the centre of Uxbridge runs a Coffee shop, open daily, from 10am-2pm. We are desperately seeking volunteers to serve light refreshments behind the counter. We would be grateful to hear from anyone who would have an hour or two to spare, either on a weekly basis or just occasionally. We are a friendly and supportive group of people and the work we do is highly valued. If interested please contact Carrie on 01895 812193.
HOLIDAY CLUB
Looking Back and Forward
IT‰S THE
HOLIDAYS!
Sitting at home with nothing to do
Bored out of my wits š there‰s nothing new.
Then I found out it was Holiday Club, down at the URC,
I have to remember to tell my mum, that
Next year to keep this week free!
We learn about God and meet new friends,
Even as a helper the fun ever ends!

The University of The Third Age (U3A) Singers are a mixed choir, most of who have rediscovered the pleasure of singing in later life. We sing a wide variety from show songs to traditional folk, and from old favourites to parts of larger religious pieces. Tenors and basses are particularly welcome, but altos and sopranos need not be shy! We practice in Ickenham United Reformed church, so come and listen to us before making up your mind - ring Derek on 01895 624414.

Stanley climbs to the top of Mt. Sinai to get close enough
to talk to God. Looking up, he asks the Lord. "God, what does a million
years mean to you?"
The Lord replies, ‹A minuteŠ.
Stanley asks, ‹And what does a million pounds mean to youŠ?
"The Lord replies, ‹A penny.Š
Stanley asks, ‹Can I have a pennyŠ?
The Lord replies, ‹In a minute.Š
The first archive copy of Ickenham Church News that we possess is dated December 1966 and is Number 11 of Volume 2. This suggests that there must have been a Volume 1, which probably began sometime in 1965. If you have lived in the Village, since those days, could you possibly have been harbouring copies dated 1965 and 1966? If you have, the Editor would be very pleased to hear from you either to receive such copies as a gift, or to be able to make copies to place in the archive.
We possess, also, a few copies of ‹The St. Giles‰ CourierŠ, which preceded ICN and some older magazines going back to 1917 variously called ‹St. Giles‰ IckenhamŠ, ‹The Church of St. Giles‰ Parish MagazineŠ and ‹Ickenham Monthly MagazineŠ. Should you have any of these the Editor would be delighted to know.
