Street-Re-Cycle 15 May
Planet South Bank are organising another of their street recycling days on Sunday 15th May (11-3). If you register, you can put your unwanted items out on your doorstep and others will have a list to know which households are taking part. You can either give items away for free, ask for a donation, or charge for them. We have used this a lot in the past to de-clutter the church. To register, contact Pie Waller on 07761 642160. More info at: Planet South Bank. The Whittakers will have put their free junk out before going to church that day!
Jubilee Afternoon Tea
At 2.30pm on Saturday 4th June we plan to have a bring and share afternoon tea in the community garden. We are inviting members of the church, the gardening volunteers and the artists. It will be free but we will ask those attending to sign up in advance (soon but not yet) so we know numbers expected and what people plan to bring.
Praying for our Circuit
The church on the Circuit Prayer Rota for 8th May is Hessay. Thank God and pray for the work of God in that place.
Many young people have struggled during the Covid19 pandemic. Pray especially those reaching the end of school or college uncertain about their future.
If there is anything you would like included in these weekly emails, please send them to me by Friday lunchtime.
Regards, Naomi
