Dear All

Last Thursday I was invited to celebrate the official opening of Julie’s Woodland shelter and 10 years of the Woodland garden at Jacobs and Gardens Neuro Centres on the site of the Rivers Hospital.

It was a lovely event and a truly lovely garden has been created for the residents of the Neuro centre to sit in and enjoy.

I have been in conversation Sheila Henderson since and they have requested help with:-

1. They have several residents who never have visitors – a friendly face for an hour or so once a week or even every few weeks would be so welcome.

2. They have a wonderful music and movement therapist who does a session in each centre (Thursday and Friday pm). Many of the residents need one-to-one help to participate in anything. Ella would love some assistance – could be one day only and doesn’t need to be every week.

3. They always need help in the garden/woodland – even a one off session would be helpful.

I know you are all busy – but if you had some time available it would be gratefully received.

Last night I was invited to the Installation of the Reverend Dr Sara Batts-Neale as the new Vicar of St Mary’s the Great in Sawbridgeworth, please say ‘Hello’ to her if you see in and around Sawbridgeworth.

Moving on to this Sunday, the services are as follows:-

9.30 am St James (Communion service).

11.15 am – St Botolph’s, Eastwick, Family service.

We also have a baptism of Madison Ivy Fletcher at 2.30 pm – please pray for her and her family that they will continue to grow closer to God and become regular attendees of our Family Service.

Hope to see you over this weekend.

Every blessing

Alison
