Lodging House Mission & East Ren Foodbank
Thank you to everyone for their most generous donations to the two charities every month and especially at Harvest time, including £775 in the retiring offering for The Lodging House Mission.
Ken Trench who runs and was the founder of East Ren Foodbank gave a most informative talk to our Church Guild recently. He highlighted the large increase in parcels given and the number of people that have been helped in the last ten
years.
The start of the year tends to be when donations are at their lowest so our monthly collections are highly valued.
In January our collections will be on Sunday 11th at church and on Wednesday 14th from 10-11am in the church hall. After this we will revert to our usual collection days on the FIRST SUNDAY of the month at the CHURCH service at 10.15am, with a further drop off session on the FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY at the HALL between 10 and 11am. Food donations will be taken to both places as soon as possible after the Wednesday.
A couple of weeks before the collections we will publish the most needed items in the Sunday intimations and on the church website.
