TOY AND FOOD BANK
Amanda Marsh at Cotman Housing, Bowthorpe Hall, is
organising a collection and distribution of food to local
foodbanks. Foodbanks help people in need with emergency food boxes. In
Norwich alone over 32% of children are affected by income deprivation, and
numbers using the Foodbanks have more than tripled in the last 12 months
-loved) to the list
being collected. I have also been in touch with Baseline, a local charity who are
arranging for hampers to be delivered to those in need, along with Christmas
presents for children. They link in with support organisations like 4Women, Lee-
way and Stonham. They will happily accept donations of toys, and will also be
looking for volunteers to help with preparing the hampers, wrapping presents
and distribution of hampers and presents

THANKS FOR DOING A GOOD JOB
When I received the November issue of the
Bowthorpe News I noticed an advert for a
company called 50 Shades Cleaner.
My house is now approx 25 years old and I was
looking for someone to give the gutters/fascias and soffits thoroughly cleaned.
The quote was within my budget so I arranged
for them to carry out the work which they did
last Wednesday.
It is not very often I put pen to paper but they
carried out the work in a very professional
manner and to a very high standard.

Main Service 10 : 30 am Sundays
Sunday Evening Service 6 : 30 pm
Wednesday 10 am Service of Holy Communion and Healing
"A simple meal with love is better than a feast where there is hatred" (Proverbs 15:17).
This proverb invites us to imagine two houses in different parts of
the city. In one house there is a sumptuous table laden with a
prime roast joint, a wide variety of vegetables, plus all the
trimmings. No expense has been spared on drinks either. This is the main course, but the diners have already consumed their
appetisers, soups and entrees, and there will be rich desserts, nuts,
fruit and coffee to follow. And then there will be piles of leftovers.
In the other house is another table not much on it, only garden
vegetables, plain bread and water. There won't be any leftovers from this meal. But this is more than a house: this is a home. Here there
is love, laughter, acceptance and genuine community qualities
that are painfully absent from the other house. The spirit in which a meal is shared is far more important than the kind of food
that is eaten.
May the peace of Christ be with you at
your Christmas dinner table.
Until next year, Revd Mark Elvin
