Pentecost & Christian Aid Week

This Sunday celebrates Pentecost, the gift of the Holy Spirit (Whit Sunday). It is thought that 'Whit' is derived from wit or wisdom, when the apostles were filled with wisdom from the Holy Spirit. It is the birth of the Christian church and the start of the church's mission to the world. Come and share it with our families at 9.30am.
Don't forget to bake some cakes for the Christian Aid Cake & Plant Stall at the Methodist Church tomorrow, Saturday 10th May 10-12.00 noon! This is a very popular morning and the cakes and plants go very quickly, so get there early. Your cakes and plants can be your donation to Christian Aid in a very practical way.

All the money raised, goes to assisting people in desperate need, to do things for themselves. Following the disaster in Burma recently, those people are some who really need our help. Try putting yourself in their place! We might not be able to travel and help them ourselves physically, but we can make it possible with our donations for food, water, tents etc. and aid workers to be sent.
