What a fantastic turnout on Sunday for the Mini Table Top sale at St Edward's. We are currently fundraising for the church roof, and with contributions from the congregation we were able to run a Mini Table Top Sale after our services at the weekend. Thank you to everyone who came and spent money, as well as those that donated things to buy! We raised a whopping amount - just short of £500!
If you pop to spend a penny at our Church in the Market Place - you will see an unusual photo in the toilet. To support the aims of our Eco Church Team we have twinned our toilet with a latrine in Nepal. You will see the photo of the toilet in our loo! In all seriousness, the principle of toilet twinning is you choose a toilet you use and twin it with one given to a community who are in need of safe places to go to the toilet. The money we have raised not only funds a toilet, but also helps support community education and sanitation programmes.
A massive well done to Cindy - a regular member of the St Edward's congregation who received her Medallist of the British Empire Award - BEM. Cindy received this for her services to people from ethic minority backgrounds in East London. Well done Cindy and many congratulations - we are so proud of you here at St Edward's, and your well deserved award.
