Our Away Giving for the month of September is for the work of Amaze, the local charity that helps homeless people and offers workshops for those who are homeless or in need to learn new skills, such as re-configuring household goods. By earning money and receiving encouragement confidence is restored and possibilities for a new future beckon. There will be information in church throughout the month about homelessness here on our doorstep. Please support ‘Amaze’ if you are able.
