One of our church members, Sheena Glanville, who works for Parish Nursing as the Regional Nurse Co-ordinator and Lead Educator has let us know that BBC Songs of Praise are featuring Parish Nursing in their programme this week.  Like most charities, Parish Nursing are dealing with challenges as a result of  the pandemic and this opportunity to raise their profile is a real answer to prayer.  The BBC have been filming the vital service that the Parish Nurses in Dundee have been providing throughout these times and it is just one example of how churches with Parish Nursing services have been responding to changing community needs.

Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes

Children are still needing gifts this Christmas, BUT because of Covid 19 you may want to use this link https://shoeboxonline.samaritans-purse.org.uk/ and pack your box online this year. Alternatively, there are still collection places to drop off boxes, if you’ve packed them yourself, but you will need to take them to a drop off centre (NOT to the church). Our nearest drop off centre this year is: Buckden Methodist Church, Church Street, Buckden, St Neots, Cambridgeshire PE19 5TP and hours are: Monday 9 November, Friday 13 November or Monday 16 November - all from 2.00-4.30pm. With thanks from the children who will receive them.  If you need anymore advice you can ring Liesl Houghton between Thursday to Sunday on 01480 450947.
