Mothers' Union Colwall
Our guest this month is Andy Lymer who will speak about the work of Christians Against Poverty.
14 million people in the UK are living in poverty. Poverty is so much more than going without. Poverty destroys lives. It robs people of joy, hope, and opportunities. It tears families apart, isolates those most in need of support, and leads many to believe there is no way out.

Pet Blessing Service
Our Pet Blessing service is always popular!
The church opens up its doors to those of a furry, feathered or fluffy persuasion, for a short service of thanks and blessing for the animals in our lives – how they enhance our days, how they give so much and ask so little, and how they love unconditionally. Children are most welcome too!
The service is informal and each animal will receive a blessing. There will be plenty of time for mingling and refreshments are provided.
Please consider whether your pet would be comfortable in a busy (and noisy!) environment before attending; we require all animals to be on a lead or in a carrier of some kind.
There will be a collection in aid of Blue Cross UK
Sweet Pie Party
