Restoring Dignity and Reviving Hope!

2011-01-13T08:24:00.000-08:00

Horndean and Clanfield Churches Together Forum is endorsing an initiative, based on the Trussell Trust Charity in Salisbury, to provide a local Foodbank supplying household products to those in real need in our community. Locally it is being administered through the Baptist Church in Horndean who already have contacts providing them with potential bona fide recipients.

Chalton and Blendworth PCCs have signed up to this project. To that end a container will be provided on Sundays in these two churches, and one at the Church Centre into which you are invited to contribute items from time to time along the following recommended lines; Tinned Vegetables – tinned meat – tinned fish – tinned fruit – orange juice – UHT milk – sugar – tea/coffee – cereal – sauces e.g. Ragu – pasta – rice – packet mash – rice pudding. These will be made up into boxes of nutritionally balanced food and distributed to support people who are experiencing financial (and therefore) emotional crisis.

With many people struggling to supply food for their families this seems a God given opportunity to exercise our Christian duty (Matthew 25: 35-36).

~~~ Look out for the boxes in your church ~~~

CHARITABLE GIVING

2010-10-25T01:15:00.001-07:00

A huge thank you to all who opened their homes and gardens and provided refreshments to raise much needed funds for our monthly charity appeals. What a great year 2010 has already been. And there is still a coffee morning and “Roast and Rolls” to look forward to in the next couple of months.

After 3 years Ruth Smith is stepping down from her role as Charitable Giving Organiser and so a vacancy arises for this position. Could YOU be the person who could “fit the bill”? No experience needed, no particular skills just a desire to help your church and those who live without all the things we take for granted.

If you have an hour or two a month to spare and a will to help others please come forward quickly as we hold a meeting late October/early November to select the charities we will support in 2011. Please contact Carol at the Parish Office.
