Claire’s Home-made ‘Life-giving’ Lemonade..
Ingredients: 2 lemons; 4oz sugar; 1/2 pint boiling
water; 1/2 pint cold water.
Remove zest from 1 lemon with veg. peeler & put in a
jug with sugar. Pour the boiling water over, stir until
the sugar has dissolved, & leave to cool. When cold, add the cold
water. Squeeze the juice from both lemons & strain into the
jug. [I often add the bits that come out of the lemon because I
like the thought of extra goodness!] . Serve chilled.
Women in Ministry Further to my comments in May when
reporting on Spring Harvest, I fear I may have upset some folk. I just want to
say I am totally for women in leadership & ministry. The main speaker at
Spring Harvest was a woman and she was great and chaplain to the
Archbishop of Canterbury no less. Her earrings interfered with the radio
microphone so she joked that the only possible reason why women should
not be preachers was because their earrings might cause a problem with the
microphone. In other words, go for it women!! Our church wouldn’t function
without you. Roland

Bridge News : JUNE
Bridge Prayer Breakfast: Saturday 6th June - 8am at 10, Tidkin
Lane, kindly hosted by Graham and Audrey of St. Nicholas - those of us
who have been up very early that day to see our US visitors onto their
train may be snoozing in a corner so do come and swell the numbers!
Costa Coffee Worship: Two for you this month - the first on
Tuesday 2nd June from 6.45-8.15pm, led by our friends from Get Well
Methodist church, Memphis; and the second on our normal 3rd Tuesday
16th June, 7-8pm, with music provided by the Methodist worship group.
Messy Church: Sunday 31st May. 3.00-5.00pm [note earlier time],
Methodist church hall. Families with children under 11 all welcome.
Drama, games and crafts will be around the story of David and Goliath,
so do come along and meet the US team, who will be leading this
month’s session, and join in the fun. It will be followed by a youth
session in the evening.
Summer Holiday Club: Mon 3rd Aug - Weds 5th; 9.15am - 3pm.
Planning has already started but we could do with extra helpers for the
3 days [you don’t have to help every day and we have a team leader for
each age group so the key thing is extra hands for craft projects and
supervising]. The sessions are focussed on the story of Peter, the Rock,
and the theme unifying the sessions is the Seaside. Lots of opportunities
for fishy jokes, catching games and sand castle building. Watch out for
random items to collect: e.g. small bottles [vanilla essence size are ideal],
glittery or netting material [blue, gold and green especially] and plain or
patterned material for bunting.
Half Century+Club: Dorothy, Karen and Isabel are working hard
on preparations to take this club over on Aug 10th. Team leaders are in
place for each week of the month but more monthly helpers would be
lovely. Also let us know if you can help bake once a month and we are
collecting prizes (value £1) for the tombola to help to fund this project.
We also need a small trolley to move cups etc. from kitchen to hall as
the current one is broken.
US Team visit: the team from Get Well Church will be with us from
May 29th to June 6th. Activities include: Camp of champions - youth and
children’s activities at Westgate Park Playing field from 4-6pm every
school day, 1st to the 5th June; family picnic and service - 6pm on Friday
5th June at Westgate Park; and then our regular Roseberry Topping walk Friday morning; all welcome so ask for more details on timings.
Schools-work: Finally as many of you will now know Jamie Ryan, our YFC
gap year worker, had to leave a couple of months early to attend
Summer school before returning to his university studies. We wish him well
in his future. As we have lost both Jamie and Beth from our school team we
have been wondering whether anyone would like to join our work in school;
we currently go in to work with pupils from Years 3 to 6 on Tuesday and
Wednesday afternoons and look at a wide range of topics. If you would like
to have a talk about this work, and explore if it is something you feel you
could support, please speak to Shona or Peter Barley.
FoodStop: Two requests...would anyone else like to come onto the
Tuesday morning monthly rota as we are still struggling a little; and
secondly, would anyone consider being available on a “call-out” basis on
other days as we do get emergency requests on other days of the week.
We’re not sure of the logistics so have a chat with us if you might be
interested!
Wishing you every blessing,
