Cornwell Charity Crafts

Another successful year for Cornwell Charity Crafts and our thanks go to Caroline, Val and their helpers for the making, setting up and selling of all the hand-made goods. Their profits went to our annual charity - this year Send-a-Cow.

In addition to the money they raised, church members contributed to one Christmas card per family and donated the money saved. We then added a contribution from our Missions fund to make a total of £1,020, enough to buy 34 educational packs at £30 each.

But it gets better, under government match funding Send-a-Cow were able to double our donation - so that’s 68 Educational packs!

The packs support the charity’s training programmes in schools, where children are taught about the need for healthy and nutritious food, how to grow their own fruit and veg on a school plot, and the benefits of working together.

Schoolchildren who have enough to eat are better able to concentrate on their lessons and are more likely to have a positive future.

New Songs CD

During refreshments we play a CD in the background consisting of new songs we're considering introducing as part of our worship.

As was mentioned during this mornings service, a new CD of 16 songs was introduced today.  You can hear those songs here.

If you are interested in checking out the songs on last years CD, you can find them here.

You'll quickly realise that only a few of these songs have become part of our repertoire.  Are there any you think we really should have introduced ?

Vision 2020 - Sunday January 31st

There will be a special joint service and meeting on the 5th Sunday of January. Entitled Vision 2020', we wish to determine where we want to be in four years time.

It's being run in Birch Copse school from 10am to 3pm.

The time will be a mixture of worship, discussion, reflection and prayer along with an indoor picnic.

The adult stream will be run by Jane Meyers and there is a young persons stream run by Yvonne Morris.
