Pastoral Contact: for August is Jo Walker
Thinking of you and missing you at church: Beatrice Paget & Doris Hamilton.
Nature’s Olympians: WWF
Swimming: Michael Phelps is the most successful Olympic swimmer ever, with 23 gold medals around his (very strong) neck. He races through the water at around six miles an hour, earning himself the nickname ‘The Flying Fish’. But when chasing prey or evading a shark, an Atlantic bluefin tuna can swim at over 43 miles an hour – seven times faster than Phelps. This top speed is even more impressive when you realise how huge these fish are – the largest recorded tuna was heavier than a horse. You can give tuna a fighting chance of survival by choosing to buy sustainably fished sea food.
Gymnastics: Pandas might not seem obvious contenders for a gymnastics medal. Their lifestyle is famously sedentary, as they spend hours a day either eating bamboo or searching for the next meal. But to mark their territory, pandas will sometimes climb a tree backwards with their hindfeet until they’re in a full handstand, enabling them to leave their scent higher up. Males want to get their scent as high up the tree as possible to impress a potential mate (or warn other males) by tricking them into thinking they’re bigger than they are. You can help protect the bears and their habitat by adopting a panda.

Change of date
Since we planned the date of the next Circuit Meeting I have been informed that there is a Superintendents Consultation in Plymouth on Thursday 26th September. So I suggest that we move the Circuit Meeting to the day before, Wednesday 25th September at 2.30 at Stithians. Thank you for your understanding, Jonathan.
The next edition of the notices will be available from Sunday 18th August 2024. Please send any items for inclusion Sarah before Wednesday 14TH 2024. Thank you! These notices will be updated twice a month, so please hold onto them, don’t delete them, until you get a revised version. That will save us time and money in unnecessary reprinting and will do another small bit for the environment.
