BART Women's Fellowship
The Reverend Mark Montgomery, speaker at our May meeting, gave a very thought provoking and challenging talk about “A Church without Walls’, since he himself, as the Mission Leader on King Hill, is a minister without a church building. Mark described some of the innovative and creative ways in which the church engages with the ten thousand people who currently live on King Hill - (when phase three of the project is completed there will be fifteen thousand inhabitants).
.
Making a very welcome return as the guest speaker at our meeting at 2.00pm, in Ryarsh Church Hall, on Thursday, 6th June will be Judy Ludlow. Judy was licensed as a pastoral assistant who served in the BART parishes before her move to Ipswich. Judy will be speaking upon “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow” (subtitled “Bitsa”). Judy is always a good speaker – do come and hear her!

Church Preserves
Last year the amount raised from selling preserves in the church was slightly down on previous years, £845, still a worthwhile sum. Many thanks to all those who contribute in so many different ways to the success of the venture .
For those who may be new to the village, and who may like to support us, the church is open every day and is closer than the shops if you need a jar of marmalade, jam or chutney.
Food bank box
If you choose to donate biscuits to the food bank box in the church porch I’m sure that they will be enjoyed by the recipients, but please don’t think that someone has pinched them when they disappear. There seems to be a mouse that likes biscuits too! So the biscuits will be stored at Commority until there are enough other goodies in the box to take it to Margaret Ivell in Birling, who coordinates the deliveries to the Pilsdon centre.
Thursday Morning Prayer
Come and join us in bible reading and prayer for our communities, including our schools, the world, and the church at 8.30am for half an hour at St Peter & St Paul, Trottiscliffe, each Thursday morning.
