Womens World day of prayer.

3/3/2017

"Mabuhay" - pronounced "muh-BOO-hi" -Talog word meaning welcome / may you live / cheers / hurrah
Good turn out (42) both men and women to attend tonights Womens world day of prayer - this year is written by women from the Philippines and entitled "Am I being unfair to You"? Life is often unfair; this was discussed whilst thinking about the widening division between those who have and those who have not. Rice was given out to symbolise the sharing of the harvest. This is a "dagyaw" meaning the sharing of the Phillipines harvest. Amongst rice farmers the neighbours are called to help with the planting and harvesting. No one is paid but the harvest is shared among all. This dagyaw is good practice for building and sustaining community, an actualisation of compassion and care for each other. Does this seem fair to you? Something the cover of the service booklet emphasised showing those who have on the left and those with on the right. £116 was collected in the service.

An amazing array of cakes on offer at Donkey Sanctuary coffee morning today, courtesy of master baker Fiona! Fiona and Mary were our hostesses this morning and we raised a healthy £75 in spite of a smaller turnout- quite a few of our regulars on their holidays! It was also lovely to welcome Sid back to coffee morning after feeling much better after his weeks of illness.
Fiona told us about the local work of the Donkey Sanctuary in Sutton Park where the donkeys and their keepers work with children with special needs. These calm and gentle creatures seem to work especially well with children with autism. Fiona showed us a photo of her sponsored Donkey 'Oscar'!

    Whitacre Congregation is a vibrant mix of young and old who enjoy meeting for Sunday worship. Do come and join us.
