CONGRATULATIONS to JACK SIMPSON who celebrates his 100^th Birthday on Wednesday 22^nd June, keep well Jack and enjoy your very special day. Jack (Valerie Hutchinson’s Dad and a resident in the Parish) together with his late wife Esme worked tirelessly for St Philip with St Etheldreda’s Church for many, many years. Esme was Churchwarden and Jack grew plants which he generously donated to the Church Plant Stalls to raise funds for St P&E, both at the old tin Church and the existing Chapel. 

 

BREAKING NEWS We were delighted to welcome back at St Philip and St Etheldreda the Music Group for our Family Service last Sunday. Thank you Barry, Chris and David for playing for us; it's been far too long since we've seen you and we look forward to hearing you again very soon. June Curtis and all the Congregation from P&E.

 

DUCK RACES TOMBOLA.  Now that the Ducks are finally coming out of their Lockdown and are back in training for July 7th, that also means that the Tombola is back!!  But to run the tombola I need prizes, so any donations would be very much appreciated.  They can be left at the back of either St Martin or St Philip with St Etheldreda, or please give me a call – 01638 665343.  Many thanks in advance.  Patsy Edwards

 

FUTURE DATES FOR OUT AND ABOUT: 27th June; 25th July; 22nd August

 

VILLAGE COFFEE MORNING The next village coffee morning will be held in St Martins on Saturday 16th July from 10-12. All are welcome. Again, any donations of cakes will be gratefully received. It will be possible to reimburse you for costs incurred if you would like this, I know there has been a lot of asking for help recently! We will not be charging for coffee and cake at the coffee morning, but asking for donations. At the last coffee morning we raised over £70 from donations… Thank you. Sally Pascall

 

PRELOVED BOOKS IN CHURCH. The book trolleys have returned to St Martin’s Church.  Please feel free to help yourself, and spread the word that they are there.  We aim to have children’s books, novels, and a non-fiction trolley.  Owing to the fact that Sam Street has retired from looking after community books at the kiosk, of which we were an extension, we need new sources of books.  Open Door have kindly offered us a regular supply, but if you are spring cleaning your bookshelves and have something in reasonable condition to recirculate, please leave it at the back of the church.  Thank you again. Jan Lovegrove. 01638 577292

 

FOODBANK UPDATE A message from Dr Tony White. Whilst we are well stocked with many things, we do currently have severe shortages of the following items: Long life semi-skimmed milk; Small bags of granulated sugar; Tinned meats (especially easy to prepare such as curries, stews, chilli con carne); Custard (tinned or instant packets); Rice pudding (tinned); Sweet biscuits.

Any help would be gratefully received - at the foodbank or contact me if that is not convenient - I am happy to receive donations at home. I am also aware that it is some time since I updated my contact list - if any changes are needed or if you think I have omitted someone please let me know.
