Branch Update May 2016

 

Since the last Council we said goodbye to Maureen Dewar at our Christmas meal before she moved to Colchester to be near family.

 

Sadly, one of our members Freda Broadfoot died last month. This means our numbers are now 8.

 

So far this year we have:

  1. Celebrated our opening meeting with communion lead by Richard Hines, our Rector.
  2. Olga led us in a bible study focussing on the Lord’s Prayer
  3. Rachel facilitated a session from the web resources Celebrating our Faith board game. There were only 5 of us but the questions, challenges and dates on the diary provoked a very interesting discussion and we would recommend the game to others. We realised that though a small group, we are very active and support most of the local initiatives as well as some of those further afield.

 

Two members attended the Provincial Retreat and two others the re-commissioning of Jean Richardson as Provincial President in Perth.

 

We have taken a bag of toiletries to the Women’s Aid and a bag of baby hats to the Maternity Hospital this year.
