We Need Your Help
Following the success of the Lent course, which looked
at the Lord’s Prayer, we are going to offer other short
courses through the year. The next one will be in the
autumn and we really need your help to select the one
you would find most interesting or helpful. There are 3
courses briefly outlined below, simply number them 1,
2, 3, with 1 as your first choice and we will offer the
most popular in the autumn. Simple!

Sunday
club
This week the schools break up and various church
activities stop for the Summer break. There are no more
Sunday Clubs until the 7th of September, when they
resume. There will be some activities or children at
the morning services from mid August.
Thank
you
Our thanks to Bill Jenkins who has made another notice
board for the church, which has now been fixed outside
the church hall.
Bungoma
Catherine Johnson writes: Thank you to everyone who
attended the shared supper to welcome Joseph Weswa from
Bungoma. The evening was a lovely occasion when we were
able to hear about developments in our link parish.
Proceeds from the Traidcraft stalls/coffee mornings
were handed to Joseph, and this money will be used to
help a secondary school in Malakisi. Please remember
Bungoma in your prayers as life in Kenya is still very
difficult for many.
Julia Anderson & Nicky Smith add: Our Fairtrade
work has raised £1380 for our link parish over the last
two years. We hope Joseph Weswa was able to learn
something about the life of Earls Barton as we learnt
about life in Bungoma. A special thank you to all who
have helped and supported our coffee mornings. There
are
NO
summer coffee mornings, they restart in September.
Strawberry Fair
Visitors
enjoyed a lovely day at our Strawberry Fair on the
14th
of June. The sun shone on Lesley Barker’s beautiful
garden and the strawberries and cream went down a
treat. Photos by Wendy Grant Photography.

Crusaders
Our
Crusader group, which meets on Wednesday evenings for
young people, is going well with good numbers but needs
more leaders, who it is hoped can go on a rota. Leaders
both run activities like games and discussion groups
bit also operate the tuck shop or to support the main
leaders. Further details from Nicky Smith.
Maintenance Working Party
In order to tackle some of the smaller jobs identified
in the Quinquennial building's report, we are hoping to
organise 2 more working Saturday mornings on 2nd August
and the 6th September. We would welcome as many helpful
volunteers as possible. The jobs are mainly general
house-keeping both internally and externally although
some work is required on the roof. Please contact John
Metcalfe or Tom Moore if you can offer to help.
