I’m collecting donations of jewellery and accessories for the Open House Fundraiser. Any jewellery and accessories suitable for second-hand sale, I will sanitise/clean/polish everything and can do some minor repairs if needed. Please give any donations to Becka Ward from 10th Ocober onwards at Sunday morning services or email at beads_bags@stcatherines-stuttgart.de
and from Christopher last week.
“Them that takes cakes,
Which the Parsee-man bakes
Makes dreadful mistakes.”*
But … Them that bakes cakes
For St Catharine’s bakes
Makes … no mistakes whatever, but is sure of doing Good Works!
Gudrun and I are co-ordinating the home produce stall at our mini-bazaar. Dundee cakes are about my mark, and Gudrun can turn her hand to anything, but we need lots of help!
Please, if you can make a cake, jar of jam or chutney (or several) to be sold from the stall: packaged to take home, let us know (email Christopher cakes@stcatherines-stuttgart.de ) if possible about a week beforehand.
If your thing is small scale cakes: scones, muffins, cup-cakes, biscuits – for immediate consumption – the refreshment team would love to have these on the outside refreshment stall. The more the better! Our aim is to have enough to bury the Bohnenviertel.
(and, of course, bring people to the bazaar to eat the cakes; compel them to come in.)
Please consider how best to package your offerings hygienically so that they and we can be kept safe!

- all those countries where elections have taken place recently: among others Germany, Canada, Russia, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ethiopia, the Bahamas. Give wisdom and the will to seek the common good to those who will form governments and for those parties in opposition.
- those anxious or fearful of the pandemic as well as the vaccines and variants
- for those travelling for work or leisure
- for October baptism anniversaries and birthdays
