EVENTS COMING UP
Are you caring for a baby or toddler on a Thursday morning and would you like friendship, a cup of tea and somewhere for your child to play? We also provide a craft activity, a story and songs. If so, please come and try Oasis in St Mary’s Church from 10am – 11.30am on Thursdays. We will be looking out for you and you will be made welcome.
We are planning a youth movie night on Friday 22 November 7.30pm in church. The chosen film is The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
This is a free event but it would be handy if you could sign up then Sahar knows how much popcorn to pop. Sign up at www.hampton-church.org.uk/movies
No gardening expertise required - just enthusiasm! Come along and muck in for a couple of hours.
NEWS
Liz Whitehead is a member of our congregation. Her husband, Jon, often leads our Worship Band. Last year she was diagnosed with breast cancer when their daughter was just 4 months old. She would like to give something back to the charity that saved her life. Coppafeel! was set up by the late Kris Hallenga after she was diagnosed with breast cancer at just 23. The charity's mission is to deliver the serious message of chest checking in a fun tongue-in-cheek way so that every young person in the country adopts healthy habits and is aware of any changes early, avoiding a secondary breast cancer diagnosis.
Liz is currently trekking 9 hours a day in the Indian Himalayas along with 120 other people who have been affected by this devastating disease in the hope that they can raise both funds and awareness for Coppafeel!
If this cause resonates with you and you would like to sponsor Liz, no matter how small, please visit her page: www.justgiving.com/page/liz-whitehead-1706898429012
