September

Do you share your car when you travel to work? Do you share your vegetables and fruit when you have too much all at once? Do you share your time when you know a friend needs help?

On Thursday 22nd July we shared worship with Boyton and resources with the Sudan. The Mission was celebrating 75 years of Ministry. People have worshipped in that building on that spot for 73 years. The people of Hollesley and Boyton felt that it was important to share worship, prayer and witness. We were treated to the sound of The Bromeswell Singers and afterwards to refreshments. The collection was sent to the Sudan to help them in their crisis.

Jesus shared his whole life with others. He walked along roads with friends in the late evening. He went to comfort his friends when Lazarus died. He shared meals with tax collectors. He went to visit lepers on the outside of the city. Who and what will you share this month?

Your willing to share priest Judith.

In the past we have collected old and unused tools for Tools With a Mission (TWAM). Last year we supported the homeless in Ipswich. These were both very successful and you were all very generous. Thank you. This year we will think of our friends further away, in Gambia. If you linen to Radio Suffolk as I do, you cannot have missed the appeal for educational supplies so that the children there can continue the learning that they enjoy and find rewarding. Here are things they can use: Pencils, crayons, felt tips, rubbers, pencil cases, notebooks, paper, pencil sharpeners. One idea they suggest: pencil cases containing pencils, rubber and pencil sharpener. Childrens clothes (new/nearly new) are also wanted.
They have a container going which is already filled with desks and large items, so the spaces in between can be filled with stationery and clothes. If you would like to donate money instead we can buy items with it for you, or it can go towards transporting the goods to Gambia. Any items can be left in the church, left at my house, or ring and someone from the PCC will collect. Thank you. Judith Andrews, Hillside, Tower Hill, Hollesley. Tel 01394 411642.

There will be an adjudication of Snow White, our Winter pantomime, on Friday 10^th September, at 7.30pm, in Hollesley Village Hall. Lydia Calversbert
