Parish Lunch: Sunday, 5th July after Parish Eucharist. We look forward to one of our enjoyable lunches; this will be a summer cold buffet. If you would like to bring something, that would be great. There will be a notice circulating with the option of providing a sweet or savoury dish for you to sign; drinks provided. Thanks, Sondra.

Foodbank: Weekly Message from Lynda Delf - On Sunday 21st June, 10kg of food was donated and a parishioner gave me £10.00 and 4kg of food; £20.00 was anonymously posted through our door. On Sunday 28th June, 1kg of food was collected in Church. This will provide meals for more than 18 people. 

In June, 27kg of food and £210.00 was given by parishioners.

This week, our shortages include household cleaning materials, toilet rolls, long-life fruit juice and milk and kettle food such as noodles and instant soup. We also need sugar, jam, rice, coffee, teabags, biscuits, tinned meat, fish, tomatoes, potatoes, spaghetti, and rice pudding.

Thank you so much for everything you do to support people who visit our foodbanks. 

For your Prayers: Amongst the Sick - Angie Robley.

For the Repose of the Souls of the Faithful Departed - Lucy Sarland RIP. Lucy is Sarah Knight’s sister. Her funeral will take place next week at Norwich.

With All Good Wishes and Prayers, Peter.
