ISLINGTON CENTRE FOR REFUGEES AND MIGRANTS is a charity which teaches English and
whose students are looked after by a dedicated team of teachers and volunteers. Lunch is
provided 5 days a week and food parcels distributed to those most in need. The Centre is
regularly short of non-perishable food to hand out and would appreciate donations such as bags
of lentils, pasta, rice, sugar, cans of tuna, tins of tomatoes, milk, soup, fruit, custard, stock cubes,
instant coffee, tea bags, cereal, etc. These items should be left, clearly marked for the Centre,
on the table to the right of the hatch in the Fellowship Room on Sundays. Contributions in cash
are equally welcome (please pass on to me directly or the Church Office). Thank you. Christine
O’Brien.
HOST is looking for friendly, hospitable people who would like the idea of welcoming an
international student at a UK university to their home, for a day, a weekend or Christmas.
Students will gladly travel for the privilege of meeting you, learning about real life in this
country, and sharing their own culture. HOST is a voluntary activity which makes ambassadors
for international goodwill of us all. Please see www.hostk.org or call HOST 020 7739 6292. Thank

TIME TO PRAY AND READ
Almighty and eternal God,
From whose love in Christ we cannot be parted,
Either by death or life:
Hear our prayers and thanksgivings for all whom we remember this day;
Fulfil in them the purpose of your love;
And bring us all, with them, to your eternal joy;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
