News from the Pews - 25 Sept. 2025

Dear Friends

Not a great deal of news this week, but importantly...

We are coming to the end of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. You can find out more about that here https://www.cclg.org.uk/childhood-cancer-awareness-month The 'donate' button on the same link speaks for itself. As last week, pin badges will be available at the back of church on Sunday morning for those who want to donate online or give by cash. Thanks to Caroline Taylor for supplying those. Appropriately, Sunday's 10am service is an All Age Communion Service, when we’ll be thinking about Psalm 23.

Also on the subject of money.... Thank you to everyone raising donations for St Andrew’s Church, Soham with #easyfundraising!

And finally, Sunday 5 Oct. will be Harvest Sunday. We'll be collecting tinned/packaged items for Soham Foodbank (no fresh food, please). This is the list of items they'd appreciate most (please bring them on 5 Oct.):

Tinned foods (soup, meat, fish, fruit, veg)

Dried goods (rice, cereal, lentils)

Long-life items (UHT milk, fruit juice, tea, coffee)

Toiletries and hygiene products (toothpaste, soap, sanitary products, shampoo)

With best wishes all round, and perhaps see you on Sunday
