From
Murray
I found it both
very moving and inspiring to attend the Foodbank Thanksgiving service last
Sunday evening. We were given a
wonderful welcome at Gleadless Valley Methodist Church and there were a good
number of people from all the churches who support this Foodbank. We had a great taste of the family atmosphere
that has developed around the project as people from all sorts of different
churches work together and support each other doing this amazing ministry. It was particularly moving to hear from two
young men who are clients of the Foodbank.
The shared a little bit about their situations and how much of a life
line the food, support and the sense of being valued for who they are by the
helpers means to them. So thank you
again to all those who contribute to Foodbank, what you are doing does make a real
difference and is hugely appreciated.
Robert says that Foodbank again gave out much more than they received in
last week, so please continue to pray for and support this great project!

MILK If your group likes to make a hot drink, can you
please make sure one of you brings a little milk? Cathy will buy enough for
visitors, staff, volunteers and Care4You, so you will need to replace any that
you use. Several times I have arrived to
find it’s all been used and it’s difficult to leave the office to go and buy
more. Thanks for your cooperation.
STAY WARM! Hallamshire Heating have
checked the boiler again this week but if you know of anyone arranging hall
hire with us, or booking a meeting at St Paul’s, can you please advise them to
wear a cardigan or a jumper? Heating will be set for all groups at a
comfortable temperature, but we’re still finding that people are arriving in
short sleeved tops! Thank you
