A WARM WELCOME to the families and friends of children who are being baptised at St Paul’s today.
Foodbank Update Last Friday's session was very slack; it is wondered if there are
problems accessing vouchers. Nearly a ton of food was received from
schools and churches harvest festivals. Great that 3 new schools donated
this year. It was upsetting to hear that
one man may (unless his situation improves) have to give up his dogs. Like many find, it is the dogs that keep him
going. However the good news is that someone
with agoraphobia wants to volunteer; she is comfortable with Foodbank.
From Murray The hour has changed and with it we are jolted into
dark evenings and the lighter mornings seem scant compensation. My friend Steve’s daughter is now in London
at University and has posted on Facebook that she is missing the sun, as it
still shines hot and bright in Dubai at this time of year. In faith we wait for the sun to return!
