Our Sunday Club continues to thrive under the excellent
and dedicated leadership of Hilary Homan. She
is ably supported by a large number of teachers and helpers who give generously
of their time to help nurture the faith of our young people.
Sunday
Club Over the past few years the Mother's Union have made up
hampers for Grandma's-
Ireland
. This year we thought we could join them. So over the next two
Sundays: 18th and 25th November we would ask the children (and anyone else) to
bring along non-perishable foods stuffs. The hampers will be given out coming up
to Christmas.
Grandma's-Ireland is a Christian charity giving practical support to children
and families affected by HIV/AIDS in
Dublin
and surrounding areas. The support that is offered to families is very simple
and practical home-based childcare. Many of the families are very
isolated and lonely as many may be immigrants. They live with the
knowledge of their illness and yet feel they cannot share their thoughts with
friends and family due to the stigma being still so great. One
Mum said of her volunteer " She is like the mum I have lost and the
grandmother that my son lost. "Jesus said 'I was sick and you looked after
me ... Whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine you did for
me." (Matthew 25:36,40).
I have received a message from USPG who were extremely impressed with our
efforts for the harvest particularly the art work/posters for the Curry party.
They snapped loads of photos and will be showing them to other parishes and
schools.
We welcome Sophie Heseltine and Laura Lambert who have both kindly
volunteered to become leaders.
Reminder: Each Sunday we have a collection in SC and generally donate at end
of year to chosen charity.
