NATASHA WRITES ABOUT HER ORDINATION TO THE PRIESTHOOD LAST SATURDAY:“What a wonderful weekend. So joyous, emotonal and Spirit-filled. It was really lovely to be suppported by so many members of both churches. Thank you all for your encouragement and prayers. I have received so many cards and gifts, I feel truly blessed! Presiding at the Eucharist for the first time on Sunday morning at All Saints’ was very special. I am really looking forward to presiding at St Mary’s this Sunday when the Revd. Chris Davey, Priest-in-Charge of St Michael Framlingham with All Saints’ Saxsted, will be preaching. He was the incumbent at St Peter’s in Coggeshall and was a major part of my discernment to ministry.”
The ever popular St Mary's Christmas Tree Festival is back again!This is a wonderful opportunity for individuals, charitable organisations and companies to provide and decorate a tree, which is then displayed in St Mary's Church.If you would like to have a tree displayed, please contact Geraldine by emailing kelvedonctf@gmail. comFurther information regarding and pictures of previous Festivals, can be found on our Website here:https://www.kelvedonandfeeringchurches.co.uk/what-s-on/We look forward to hearing from you!
We have received a written thank you from the Tiptree Foodbank for our Harvest Donations.Between St Mary's and All Saints', a massive Harvest Donation of 82.7kg was logged!This will make a BIG difference to local individuals, children and families who face food and financial crisis at this time and will be of great help in the forthcoming months.A big Shout out to everyone who donated.
Thank all of you that made our Fete on Saturday such a wonderful success. We had a lovely team of helpers who came out in the morning to set up, others to man stalls and yet more to help tidy everything away. Then we had our stalwarts who managed to be there all day. We could not have managed without you. We had lots of lovely sponsors for the beer and wine tent, wonderful raffle prizes donated, cakes baked, etc.etc.BUT best of all it was lovely to welcome the community to the Church, it was heaving at times and great to see you all. And we managed to raise a record breaking £5,350 (there might be a bit of adjustment) which was excellent fund raising.
