Hi Everyone,
Bless you, Upchurch - a very good turnout once again.
It was wonderful to receive your generous donations for Swale Foodbank and see your generosity overspill to helping the ten Afghan refugee families resettling in Ashford too.
You filled our church with precious necessities for those who entered our country with nothing.
“Dear friends
Jane Davies from Hartlip has been in touch to thank everyone for the overwhelming generosity shown to the appeal for support for Ashford's Afghan refugee families.
Because so much has been donated, there is no further need for donations at this point. We will let you know if any more is needed.
Please do continue to hold the families and others caught up in this terrifying situation in your prayers, and, if you are able, consider donating to the appeals set up by major agencies involved in the humanitarian response.
Every blessing
Amanda Lane
Associate Priest with The Six”
There were three other pews like this!
Ron and I will be collecting again at the bus stop opposite the Church in Horsham Lane on Wednesday the 13th of October between 10:30am and 11:30am. This will tie in with the new Cuppa and a Chat at St Mary's, which will also be on the 13th and will run between 10:00am and 12 midday.
September's Cuppa and a Chat will be on Wednesday the 8th of September between 10:00am and 12 midday.
God gives strength to those who are faint and weary. We are his heart, his hands and his feet.
Thank you, and God bless you ❤️
