Both St Mary’s and St Peter’s collect tinned foods, toiletries and other essentials for the Food bank. St Helen’s has a Community Fridge food waste Project: visit the Community Centre and take what you can use to prevent food from going in the bin, plus follow them on the St Helens Community Fridge Facebook page.

Just a gentle reminder that food left at the back of the church is for the food bank or specific charities. If you are in need please see Sylvia or Rev Bevaly.

The Together in Prayer group meets on Zoom each Wednesday from 7.30pm to pray for the world, the church and each other.
For the Zoom code or to be prayed for please email revbevrackett(at)gmail(dot)com.
