We were sorry to learn of the death last week of Joan Holland, a regular member of the congregation for many years. A private cremation will take place, with a Thanksgiving Service at Little Malvern Priory at a date to be announced.
Our Away Giving for the month of September will be for the work of Amaze, the Charity Shop on Belle Vue Terrace 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.
September’s Newsletter contributions would be appreciated. Please send your copy by 2nd September to beethomas@btinternet.com Thank you.
