And so for our lives – and that of our community and nation… The Ian Beck Church of England prays and reflects on what is happening and speaks out in the hope of improving a situation to bring closer the Kingdom of Help!! God. Archbishop Justin’s comments about Payday loan companies have undoubtedly struck a chord. Occasionally our churches get it right We are always on the look-out for volunteers to help with jobs with something that needs to be done . The Lunch Club was such an around the church. Normally you will only have to do a job 3 or 4 occasion 16 years ago and they would welcome more lunchers. So was times a year under the rota system (unless you’d like to do it more the Wednesday Morning Coffee Morning at Onehouse which now often!). We have rotas for the following: attracts several retailers—perhaps Finborough’s Monthly Coffee Morning Key—opening and locking up of the church daily for a week at a time in aid of Charities (see notice) will do the same? The Men’s Breakfast is booming –with 21 last Saturday. All were born out of reflection and Grass-cutting—cutting half of the churchyard every eight weeks or careful consideration then doing. A large and enthusiastic group from so in the summer months Buxhall church is shortly to meet with the Diocesan Director of Mission Cleaning—with a friend! Every 10 weeks or so, twice in a fortnight to consider the future of the church there following on from its ‘health check meeting’.

Does the other New Year - September cause you to rethink any part of your life – that may take you closer to Coffee—Every couple of months, can be done with someone else the person you are meant to be?
