SINGING FOR SEA SUNDAY RECORDING

Beautiful singing was heard from the Church of St St Laurence,
Affpuddle on Tuesday evening as a recording was made by the
Benefice Choir for HM Coastguard Sea Sunday podcast.
Sea Sunday is celebrated on the 10th of July and is an opportunity to thank God
and to pray for all who work on the sea, those who keep them safe, and those who
care for them. The recording will go live on Sunday morning - please share it with
your family and friends as we celebrate Sea Sunday together.

Food Bank – Update!

Usually every 6 -8 weeks we hand over at least five carrier bags full of your gifts to the Food Bank - so thank you from the people who were very grateful....and please keep your contributions coming!

There are boxes in both our churches for you to place any goods you would like to donate. This provides a simple way of helping people who have fallen on hard times.

I would ask: Please ensure that your gifts are at least 6 months in date.

You do not have to be a church member to contribute!

The boxes are emptied regularly
