A warm welcome to everyone this morning. If you are visitor we do extend a particularly warm welcome to you and if

STRAWBERRY FAYRE
Saturday June 20th 2.00 - 4.30pm
BAKERS UNITE!
The home baking and produce stall in the Church porch is always very
popular with visitors to the Strawberry Fayre, and always makes a
handsome profit. Please make sure there is plenty to sell by bringing your
cakes, jams, and garden produce to the Church on June 20th or giving them
to Violet Timms.
INTERESTING GIFTS
Most of us have been given lovely gifts at some time that we've never, or
hardly ever used. Sometimes we've bought useful presents and never given
them away. Please give all suitable items for sale on the Gift stall, so that
others can enjoy them. Contact Di Sperring (713838) or Sue Hunter
(712265).
RAFFLE
Violet Timms (712431) is organising the ever-popular Raffle, please
support her by donating suitable items.
CALLING ALL BOOKS LOVERS
We are looking for donations of books for a bookstall at the Strawberry
Fayre. Please bring any books you have enjoyed, or been given, and leave
them in the box in the Horton Pew. Or if you would like to have them
collected, please phone Di Sperring on 713838.
PLEASE COME!
Bring your friends and family and enjoy a pleasant afternoon browsing
round the Farthinghoe art exhibition and Nancy Long's History exhibition
in All Saints, and the WI Centenary Exhibition in the Methodist Church.
Enjoy a cream tea, or just a cup of tea, or ice cream. Flyers are available at
the back of the Church, please take some, and circulate them, to make sure
everyone knows about it.
BENEFICE
WEBSITE
Do you have
website-building and design skills or
know someone who does?
We’re looking into the possibility of
setting up a Benefice website and
wondered if anyone in our
congregations (or someone you
know) would be willing to help us.
Also it would be useful to know if
you as a ‘Pews News’ reader would
use a Benefice website and a linked
Facebook page and Twitter feed.
Currently, the monthly ‘Pews News’
doesn’t allow us to communicate
with a wider audience, so if you are
interested in helping us develop our
digital communication or have any
ideas, please email
clairewilks@hotmail.co.uk
HOME GROUP
The QUEST home group meet
fortnightly at 8pm, on a Monday
Evening at 1 Millers Way, for
more information contact
Amanda on 712 648.
FOOD BANK - Staff at the Salvation Army continue to thank everyone for the food donated. People have
been very generous, and at the moment they do not need tea bags, breakfast cereals or pasta. What they
particularly require right now is: tinned spaghetti and any tinned meals; tinned vegetables including
potatoes; corned beef and tinned ham; and Long Life milk (please ensure it is full-cream or semi
skimmed; they can't use skimmed milk.) Thank you again for your thoughtfulness.
CHRISTIAN AID WEEK - A big thankyou to everyone who helped to make this week a great success.
The total raised was £3643.56 which was £74.51 more than last year. This will buy 2 cows, a goat, a
chicken and 2 vaccines for the chicken for women in Ethiopia. The quiz raised £38, the lunch £95, the
Sunday Service collection £41.77 and the House to House collection £2680.15. Gift Aid was £448.61.
We have received a 'well done' and 'thankyou' message from C/Aid Headquarters.
