COMMUNITY FUND

Just a reminder that there will be a retiring collection after the morning service this Sunday (7th March) for our Community Fund, which was created to enable us to respond immediately to local situations, for example, sending a gift of money to a local family who have suffered a house fire.  Any donations will be very gratefully received.  Thank you

------------------

CLEANING

We hope to have appointed a cleaner in about 3 weeks.  Meanwhile we need to keep our premises clean and tidy.  I have put up a new cleaning rota on the boiler-house door in the corridor and would appreciate everyone taking a turn to clean somewhere if you possibly can.

(During the last few weeks a few people have done the occasional job but 2 people have done most of it – and they are going away!!)  PLEASE don’t leave it to others!

Please contact me if you need arrangements for access, etc.

With thanks, Heather Corry (tel. 872658)

DAILY BREAD FOOD LARDER 

- Churches Together in Grimsby

 Many residents of North East Lincolnshire find themselves experiencing poverty, hardship and distress, despite a statutory system that in general supports them. To help those who experience emergency, temporary financial need Churches Together and Christian Action Resource Enterprise (CARE) are working in partnership to provide short term relief of food poverty in the area.

Local churches have agreed, for one month each, to provide weekly donations into the larder. Those in need can apply for help and CARE will assess the need and distribute the items.

 We have been helping this project for a number of years now.  You are invited to select a particular item – preferably tinned or packeted and having a long shelf life, and pledging to bring this item each week for the month of March.  We will have a table at the front of church to receive your items on a weekly basis.  At the end of March a representative from the organisation will receive the collection. 

Tinned meat and vegetables, soups, jams, pasta sauces, tea and coffee are particularly in need.

 Can we make the collection as large as last year??!!!

THANK YOU
