Thank you - 6 June
2007
A letter of thanks has been received from The Revd Anthony Ball,
The Archbishop of Canterbury's Assistant Secretary for International,
Ecumenical and Anglican Affairs, Lambeth Palace.
It thanks the Parish of
Leighton-cum-Minshull Vernon for the £300 it has raised for Bethlehem and
the Holy Land, through the Lent soup kitchens at the home of Monica and Ted
Bermingham.
The money will be forwarded to Le Creche which is a charity which houses
orphaned and abandoned children as well as providing creche and care
facilities for young children from very poor families.
Their website address is http://www.saintvincentguesthouse.net/creche/creche_en.htm
"The Archbishop is very grateful for the
support, both financial and in prayer, for peace in the Middle East, and
sends his very best wishes to the Parish of Leighton cum Minshull
Vernon."

Swimathon
22-25 March 2007
Thank
you to those who recently sponsored me to
swim the "Individual
5 Kilometres"
in the Marie Curie
Swimathon. I completed the
distance, 200 lengths of Nantwich pool, in 1hr 55 mins, which was 2 minutes
faster than my time last year. The total I have raised for Marie Curie
Cancer Care this year is £116.90.

4 Lent
Soup Kitchens and A Coffee Morning
Thank you Monica for the Lent soup kitchens and coffee morning and to
everyone who supported these events.
The soups were excellent. I think there were 14 different ones altogether.
There were many soups appropriate for celebrations in the
calendar e.g. St David's Leek
and Potato, St Patrick's Day Soup and Tomato (Red Nose
Day). It was also nice to try some more unusual varieties too, like
the Beetroot and Orange. I was a bit hesitant
to try this one, but I am very glad I did; it was lovely. I think
my favourite is still the Halloween Tomato and Vegetable
at the first soup kitchen.
Thank
you Monica and Ted for the very warm welcome into your home on each of these
occasions.
