Dear All, Please see the enclosed poster about our Festival of Angels on December 14th. Apologies for the length of this email—we missed the November newsletter and wanted to make sure you’re fully updated on what’s happening! As you’ll see, the Angel Café is running on December 14th, 10 am–12 pm. This is a fundraising event for the Church. If you can help on the day, provide cakes, or donate prizes for a raffle, that would be amazing! Proceeds from drinks, cakes, and the raffle will go directly to the Church. There will also be activities for children attending. On social media (Kesgrave Community Page, ASK, and Kesgrave Fynn Valley Churches Facebook pages), you’ll soon see posts inviting the Kesgrave community to "Be Angels" by contributing to the Urgent Humanitarian Aid Appeal for Ukraine. There will be two dates for dropping off items for this appeal, which will be shared shortly. At the Angel Café, we’ll also be selling knitted angels made by local volunteers, with proceeds going to Suffolk Cancer Support. This charity was chosen because we pray weekly for those with cancer through our prayer chain. Supporting this local cause feels like a meaningful way to extend our care as part of this event. Additionally, the Woodbridge and Kesgrave Ukraine Hub will run a tombola to raise funds for the Aid Appeal. We’ve reached out to local organisations, including Cedarwood School, to create displays to decorate the church for the Angel Festival. Some church members are also contributing displays (and there’s still room for more if you feel inspired!). We’ve also secured some charity funding to support the Café activities and the church decorations. Finally, as part of the festival, we are reaching out to the community by hiding painted angel stones around Kesgrave starting December 1st. These stones are for children to find and photograph. Some will include cards explaining their purpose, while others will have the Angel Café date on the back. We hope to distribute around 50 stones! Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please keep an eye on social media and share posts widely. We hope you can support us practically or through prayer for this event. With best wishes, Your KFV( Kesgrave + Fynn Valley) Angels Team
