CHRISTIAN
AID
A big thank you to the people
of Bawdeswell for their wonderful giving this year. You raised £301.43.
This was up from last year by £228.40p. Foxley £66.73.
Last year any giving was in with the shop box. The total for the six parishes
was £1040.00p, a truly remarkable collection. This could not have
been achieved without Robin and Sandi putting all the envelopes in the
magazines, Andrew and Shirley willing to have the collection box in their
shop, Ruth and Janet walking the streets collecting the envelopes.
So once again a very big thank you.

SEEKERS CLUB
We met at Sparham at 9.15am
and 14 children, 5 adults set off for Horstead Centre. We spent the morning
having fun climbing the mountain, then zip wiring across the grass into
the trees, then back to the lawn as we lowered ourselves down. Oh dear,
was one of them going to be up there all day! Sigh of relief, he
worked it out in the end. But it was back up again, this is fun but
scary. The cry at end of the morning was, “When are we going again?”
No seekers in July. We are having the Summer Club called XPEDITIONS

FAMILY SERVICE
This was all about the Trinity,
a hard subject, but Althea Mann gave a wonderful talk and with the children's
help made a triangle, the strongest shape there is used in building bridges.
We looked at photos to show us examples. God is three in one, very hard
to understand, but the Bible tells us this is true.
