News from the Pews - 29 June 2025

Dear Everyone

Hi.

Another News from the Pews should follow later in the week (it's rare that I send two), but I am sending this now because I have realised to my horror that there is a mistake in the July-Oct. What's On leaflets those of you who were at church today took home with you: the date for the 'Equiano's Cambridgeshire Family' talk is Wednesday 8 October (NOT Tuesday 29 October). Apologies!

(Corrected) leaflets will be available in church from Tuesday.

Please note that church will be locked tomorrow (Monday) as the baptism pool we borrowed for Skye's baptism isn't being collected until tomorrow evening.

Something else to note is that the WiFi in church has gone down and is unlikely to be recovered for some time. Apologies. As happened this morning, we'll do our best to video 10am services and post those recordings onto the St Andrew's Church Soham Facebook page as soon as we can after they've happened.

Whilst I'm here, here is a link to the latest edition of Jigsaw, the Soham Community magazine https://online.fliphtml5.com/jdagj/pcid/   . Thanks to those who'll be delivering hard copies over this next week or so.

And finally, thank you all for thinking of my mum, brother and I over these last weeks, and last Friday especially, whether or not you came to his funeral service. We are very grateful for your support and prayers. And the singing of the hymn we learned for the occasion was out of this world! Audible in heaven, I'm sure ;-)

Til later in the week, and with best wishes all round til then

Eleanor
