TODAY’S FAMILY SERVICE AT ST PHILIP WITH ST ETHELDREDA.  (20^TH November)

We were all sorry that our usual Family Service, with our talented Music Group, had to be changed but pleased to welcome Revd Rosemary and Revd Andrew Rycraft who officiated, at short notice, together with Colin Day and the music machine.  We also had a VIP (Very Important Puppet) and, as today we were celebrating Christ the King, he was complete with crown, not to forget how knowledgeable he was regarding potato names!  Thank you all for coming, a good service was enjoyed by all and we look forward to welcoming this VIP again.  June Curtis.

 

A THOUGHT FOR A VACANCY

"O God give me the strength to look up and not down, to look forward and not back, to look out and not in, and to lend a hand."

The words were written by E.E. Hale and came from “In Quietness and Confidence” The booklet was edited and compiled by Mary Oakley. Contributed by Pam Morter

FOOD BANK CURRENT NEEDS: As of 19 July, we are currently very short of many staples. Demand remains as usual but donations have significantly reduced, presumably because many people are feeling the cost of living problems. If you can help with any of the following it would be a great help:-

Granulated sugar, tinned veg (sweetcorn, peas, carrots), pasta sauces, sachets of instant custard, tinned fruit, tins of rice pudding and jams.

We still have masses of baked beans, soups and pasta so do not need any more of those.

With grateful thanks for your continued support, every blessing. Dr Tony White.
