Today we celebrated a big birthday for Mike. A cake was made, birthday songs were sung several times and the cake enjoyed.

A small number joined us for a special coffee morning to specifically support Christian Aid week. Envelopes are still available and can be returned to most village pubs and the station stores once filled. A total of £224 was raised for Christian Aid between the coffee morning and the envelopes to date.
The chapel was packed again for breakfasts at the start of the village annual rogation bank holiday walk, Over 180 people pre registered for today with an estimated 200 plus attendees so it was a busy time for the washer up crew and tea coffee and toast suppliers today. However we had the weather for a super day and the Chapel was a lovely start point. Thanks to all the servers and kitchen staff. Once fed and breakfast was complete the crowds were on their way visiting all five churches around the four parishes. A selection of the morning is here including a sausage roll at Lea Marston. Ruby welcomed the team to the school and we presented the story of the ill soldier Naaman who on the advise of an anonymous servant suggested going to see the prophet Elisha to be healed. Reluctantly Naaman dipped himself seven times in the Jordan river and was healed. Elisha refused the treasure in payment of his cure saying that God had healed him.   A good attendance at the coffee morning. We were well supplied with home made cakes by Fiona, Mary and Rosemary. The raffle prizes too seemed on a higher level so we were glad to raise £144.50 for Bees Abroad. This charity trains farmers and their wives in Africa to care for their bees.They are essential for pollination and also provide an alternative income to villagers.
