THE MISSION GROUP

The Mission Coffee Morning on the 15th February went really well thanks to so much help from Sara Skinner, Rebecca and Esther and Pennie.
 
Despite Storm Dennis the weather held mostly without blowing any one over or making everyone soaked! That was another blessing. Quite a lot of people came to support us. We collected £72.10 for BMS’ new campaign “Relief for Bangladesh”, following serious flooding which devastated the areas. That was decided before the dreadful flooding here in the UK following Storm Ciara and then Storm Dennis. We pray for all those affected by disastrous flooding and in other parts of the world serious drought.
 
The Coffee Morning filled a Saturday morning with great fellowship, tea, coffee, delicious cake and books to choose to read.
 
I put the £8.50 in the Mission Box collected up from the Church table together and banked £80.53 altogether for BMS World Mission.
 
As you may have noticed, Easter Sunday falls on the 12th April. Diana, Pennie and I have decided to do the Easter food shopping on Monday 6th April prior to Easter. Envelopes for Food donations for the Family Resource Centre will be going out during the latter weeks of March.
 
God Bless you all.

Since 1st December we have had a great response from our wonderful congregation to collect donations to our Christmas Parcel Appeal. This is something we do to support those who are really on the bread line with a “hamper” of 11 basic items, like tea or coffee and at least four luxury items at Christmas time and at Easter too.
 
We had collected £189.16 amazingly so on Monday 16th December at 10am., Diana, Pennie, Chris and I met at Asda’s in Southgate. Within an hour we had stacked 2 full trolleys with food and done our best to calculate how much we were about to spend.
 
Afterwards we took 7 of the 10 parcels to the Family Resource Centre in New Southgate which is where the Toys also went. The staff at the Centre know the families well who are most needy. They were most grateful for the food we delivered.
 
My thanks most sincerely to Diana and Pennie and Chris for helping with the shopping and delivering. Thank you everyone for helping us.
Happy New year to you all.

​MISSION BOXES
 
Please bring your Mission Boxes to Church on the 12th January, which is the 2nd Sunday in January. The boxes will be blessed and the money banked and sent to BMS and CWM and returned empty to you.
 
If you would like a box please ask me. Anthea.
CHRISTIAN AID – ADVANCE NOTICE
 
There will be a Christian Aid Quiz on a Saturday in February at St. Johns, Friern Barnet, Church Hall. Further details will be coming.
 
Please think about making up a table of 10/12 people. Last year was great fun plus a good supper.
 
Philip has been the Christian Aid Churches Together Treasurer for the past few years. He has decided to resign as he and Astrid have just moved to live in South London. Thank you, Philip.
 
This will also mean he will be resigning from the Mission Group too. We really do need some new members to fill our gap. Please consider us as we seek to find 2 new members.
 
Happy New Year Everyone.
Anthea Denham
