I was testing children in my Barnsley Sunday school class to see if they understood the concept of getting into heaven.I asked them, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big jumble sale and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into heaven?" "NO!" the children answered. "If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the garden and kept everything tidy, woul d that get me into heaven?"Again, the answer was 'No!' By now I was starting to smile. "Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave sweeties to all the children, and loved my husband, woul d that get me into heaven?" Again, they all answered 'No!' I was just bursting with pride for them. I continued, "Then how can I get into heaven?" A six year old boy shouted,"Tha's gott'be Chuffin' dead" Brings a tear y' eye...

Charity Evening In aid of The Mowbray Suite And The Alternative Therapy Treatment Room Organized by Lisa Porter and Friends Dear All, In May 2009, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, which then went on to develop into secondary cancer, and so my journey through the Friarage Hospital began. Firstly the Scott suite to which I can not speak highly enough of. Then I went on to chemotherapy at the Mowbray suite, with help from the Alternative Therapy room. My Treatment is still on going, now I feel it is time to give something back to them for all the care and understanding that they gave to me. I have had close friends who also had connections and feel the same. I have decided to hold a charity evening on Saturday 4 th September at Muker in Swaledale; this will include a disco, food and then followed by an Auction of Promises. It would be greatly appreciated if you were able to donate to this evening in some way.
