You will have seen the devastation of the floods in the West Country, in the news. Many farmers will not recover from this terrible situation and our vicar has suggested that the entire deanery’s church collections tomorrow are donated to the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institute, which supports farmers.
As our church doesn’t have another service this month, I am sending this to the entire village to ask if we could make our own donation as we live in a rural community with very close links to the farming fraternity. I am happy to co-ordinate this but will not be knocking on doors!! We have a post box before our gate, on the wall at The Manse and, if you would like to make a donation, small or large, please place any money/cheques in an envelope and put it in the box (it’s emptied a couple of times a day). I will send this on in the hope we can do our small part in helping these people get through this dire situation.
Regards,
Dennis Offer
