Mothering Sunday - March 14th

Mothering Sunday - March 14th
Last Mothering Sunday we made a special collection and this was sent to SMILE International to be used for their sponsored widow programme in Kosova. These ladies, all widowed as a result of the war in that country, struggle as mothers to support their families and the money we raised gave them a day in the SMILE centre with good food, a chance to relax and talk, and a gift to take home. We are intending to do the same this year, so this is an advanced notice. If people would like to make a donation in thanks for, or in memory of their mother or someone who has been a mother to them then please bring that donation to Church on Mothering Sunday. There will be a small tree in the vestibule and flowers to hang on the tree in recognitionof our mothers.
