PROMISES AUCTION: A huge ‘thank you’ to all those who provided Lots and Bid for the items. An amazing 69 Lots in total which resulted in a wonderful amount raised of £1,498.58.  Your support was hugely appreciated. Sandra & Mary.

Holiday Messy Church - Exciting news! We are planning to run a Holiday Messy Church here at DMC during the first week of the summer holidays in July. It would run 9.30am - 12noon on Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th July. There would also be a special service on Sunday 26th July which will continue the theme of Creation & all things Eco. We are hoping that the whole church will get behind this and come together to host a wonderful event for the children in our community. There will be lots to do in advance and there will be something for all who are interested in being involved (details coming soon) but some role examples are: refreshments, cutting and preparing activities, running activities, welcoming people, tech team, musicians, puppeteers, woodwork skills, setting up tables etc. If you couldn’t make the meeting on 6th June, but would like to get involved, then please have a chat with me. Looking forward to this exciting opportunity. Sarah Jessop.

ROBIN HARTRDIGE  You may be interested to learn of the total donations, given in memory of Robin at his Thanksgiving service.  They amounted to £1,920, from cash on the day and through the bank from those who watched online.  This has been divided equally between The Peace & Hope Trust and our Church. 

The wonderful thing is that we have already sent out the money and it is being used to buy some vital equipment at the hospital in Bluefields, the town where a lot of the help is needed, and being given in Robin's memory.

It is such an amazing total and our family are so, so grateful for the generosity shown for Robin's life and work.

Thank you to everyone,  Maureen, Ruth, Simon, Paul and all the rest of us!
