Ladies Fellowship
This ladies group has been part of this church for around 50 years, probably under different headings as times change but always with the same foundation, the Word of God. The current group have met every fortnight on Thursday afternoon except for the summer break when people tend to go on holidays.
Very sadly, the Ladies fellowship has decided to stop regular meetings due to dwindling numbers. The Water for Life project will continue to be managed by the Ladies fellowship until further notice.
The Ladies Fellowship led from its beginning in our church the wish to try to help people who have no access to one of the basics in life.....that is ..... clean water. In the beginning they discovered that a water filtering system could be provided for just £40 and since then the group have thought of bigger things like pipework, wells, pumps and any other equipment that is needed. The Ladies Fellowship have been supported generously by church members and friends so it is with some pleasure and satisfaction that we wish to publish what has been achieved through saving change in Jam Jars. You will see that your donations and contributions have been sent to three different water projects, but all with the same aim...... to provide clean water.
