FOOD BANK 8th July 2018
I took all the foodbank collections to the foodbank this week, 55.2 kg,
sufficient for 135 meals.
No special requests this time, the current mixture is working well.
Many thanks to all who donate.

PCC Standing Committee
The Standing Committee met last Sunday afternoon (3rd June).
There were reports of many positive things taking place e.g. Coffee & Cake, Short & Sweet, Sunday Sales, Passover Meal, new members in church and a good number of baptisms and weddings being booked, and no concerns raised as a result of Val’s notice the week before to let her know. We have worship planned a good few months ahead, including the regular ministry of Revd Rob, Revd John, Revd Helen and Sandra, and other visitors joining us too. We are on track with issues such as Safeguarding and Data Protection (more on these soon) and agreed to plan more social events.
To be honest, there is some frustration with the Diocesan Office, but we are keeping ‘on the case’ and praying hard, along with you all, for the right solution for Immanuel. If you have any questions, do please talk to any of us: Richard, Valerie, Rosemary, Sandra, Ian, Barbara, Revd Helen and Christine.
Coffee Morning
Drinking and eating from bone china is something very special.
Just under 40 people spent an enjoyable morning in church recently enjoying tea, coffee and toasted teacakes with jam.
There was lively conversation, laughter, good company and a lovely atmosphere. As a bonus, £139 was raised for church funds.
The morning was a pleasure with everyone saying how much they had enjoyed the time spent together. Thanks to those who organised and hosted the morning. A lovely way to spend a Friday morning. Thank you to all who came and supported the event.
We are planning another coffee morning later in the year.
