MOTHERS' UNION PRAYERS
                God shone in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory in the face of Jesus Christ.
                But we have this treasure in clay pots so that the awesome power belongs to God and doesn't come from us. (2 Cointhians
                  4:6-7)

Gardening
                Thank you to Mike and the gardeners for all their hard work in the garden
                which contributed to the attractiveness of the Church grounds for the festival.
Flower Festival Weekend
                Thank you to Gabby, Sue and all the flower arrangers for the beautiful displays of
                flowers in the Church last weekend. The flower festival was its usual success and
                your hard work was very much appreciated by all who visited it. As a result £400.00
                was donated to Church funds for which we are very grateful.
Mothers' Union
                Thank you to the members of the Mothers' Union and WI  who contributed to the refreshments 
                and lunches in the Church hall on Bank Holiday Monday for the village street fayre. The raffle
                raised £85.00, the refreshments £175.00. Many thanks to all of you who contributed in any way.
May Day Street Fayre
                Thank you to everyone who baked/gave bottles for or supported the St. Helen's stall at the May Street
                Fayre in Seaview on Monday. The cake stall raised £186.70, bottle tombola £243.00, plants £74.85, and
                our sewing group stall £167.00. After all necessary deductions that's a grand total of £648.85! THANK
                YOU SO MUCH. We couldn't have done it without your support. Our next event is at St. Helens Village
                Fair on 28th June when, I'm afraid, more cakes and bottles will be needed! Many grateful thanks. Rose
