This is an exciting new initiative being spearheaded by Rev Jackie, Rev Liz and Vestry Member Ed Trevillion.  Each Monday (beginning Monday 28 April) from 12 until 1 pm they will serve soup, a roll and a cup of tea/coffee to the homeless in The Blue Triangle facility in The Wide Close. They would be delighted to receive donations of soup for this venture.  A sheet has been left on the table at the back of the church for interested parties to write down what they would like to contribute and when.  Thanks in advance for your generosity.
