NOTICES
CHURCH FAMILY
We extend a warm welcome to members of St. Luke’s congregation to our service on the 14th July which will be led by Craig Price who attends St. Luke’s
John Sprigge would like to express his gratitude to members of the church congregation for coming to the Service of Thanksgiving for Jane and showing their support not only to him but to his daughter’s Martha and Libby and Jane’s brother. The Service was well attended by Jane’s friends, neighbours and former colleagues.
PLAN OF SERVICES AT WEST KIRBY

STRAWBERRY TEA
Elaine Phillips will be hosting a Strawberry Tea in her garden at 13 Burlingham Avenue, West Kirby on Saturday 3rd August from 2.30 p.m. Tickets are £6 and are available from Elaine. All money raised will be for the next MWiB (Methodist Women in Britain) Special Project. Additional garden chairs much appreciated.
WIRRAL FOODBANK
The Wirral Foodbank are very grateful for all the food that our church donates to them. They have suggested that we focus on the following items, as a necessity for the boxes they pack:
Tinned fish, meat, vegetables (peas, carrots, sweetcorn, potatoes) also tinned tomatoes.
Tinned rice pudding, fruit
UHT milk
Deodorant & shampoo
Every week they are giving out 1000 tins of fish, 800 tins of meat and 600 tins of fruit. So, the more we can give of these items, the more help we will be.
The Foodbank picks up donations from Tesco in Heswall on a Monday and Thursday. Given the need, it would be good if, as a church, each week we could put as much as we can in the box in the foyer and Eve will take it to Heswall every week if possible.
Another positive about Tesco is that for every kilo of food donation they will make a cash contribution to the Foodbank. Apparently, they don’t mind if it has come from another supermarket.
Many thanks in advance for your generous giving.
