Rev Faria lead our worship today which included a celebration of our JMA collectors, many of whom were able to be in church to collect their ribbons. The service reflected the young people contribution to the life of the church as well as more world wide issues especially concerning the recent developments in Farai's home country of Zimbabwe. We finished with the usual tea coffee and cakes in the school room where some products purchased from The Purple Community fund were showcased. A busy morning presided over for the last time by Jean and Beryl who have decided to hang up their coffee morning boots. A potted cyclamen were presented to both in recognition of their support. Warwickshire rural watch coordinator Carol Cotteril and police community officer Jane Owen joined us with a display table, introducing themselves and giving out safety passes and safety awareness packs. This month £125 was raised for Dogs for Good, which sponsors dogs for community and family environments as well as for more traditional disability helping dogs. Whatever the situation these dogs are a therapy and support for their owners. To help raise further funds a Manchester City football was offered for auction by Sheila and Vincent was the winning bidder who paid £15 in the auction. Sheila daughter is offering a service to make front door Christmas wreaths for £15. £5 of this will be donated to Cancer Research and are available bespoke in any colour. With so many people present the tea and cakes more or less sold out. |
