Dear friends,
Thank you
This week I would like to thank everybody who supported our Macmillan coffee morning last Friday which was a huge success. The morning, brilliantly organised by Cate Statham, and a whole team of helpers, raised around £1100 for this most excellent cause. Thank you to everybody who came and ate plenty of cake and donated plenty of cash!
We have also had some wonderful gifts and donations of food and personal care items given at our harvest festivals across the villages and communities this past week. Needless to say that these items will make such a huge difference to the health and wellbeing of many individuals in our area. Thank you so much. We shall ensure they are passed on immediately.
Our wonderful Church Primary School has an open day, tomorrow 7th October, for the whole community so please do see the details below if you’d like to go.
Finally, you’re invited to join us this weekend for any of our services. Come sit and eat as George Herbert said:
Love (III)
Love bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back,
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning
If I lacked anything.
"A guest," I answered, "worthy to be here":
Love said, "You shall be he."
"I, the unkind, ungrateful? Ah, my dear,
I cannot look on thee."
Love took my hand, and smiling did reply,
"Who made the eyes but I?"
"Truth, Lord; but I have marred them; let my shame
Go where it doth deserve."
"And know you not," says Love, "who bore the blame?"
"My dear, then I will serve."
"You must sit down," says Love, "and taste my meat."
So I did sit and eat.
