Following the Story….. Some of you will remember the E100 series we did a few years ago when people were invited to read through a 100 key passages from the bible over a few months. Those who took part said how they could now see the whole story of the bible and this deepened their faith. The readings we use each week in church have been chosen by a group of experts from across the different Christian denominations. During the period called “Ordinary Time”, the part of the year from Trinity to Advent, there is an option to use a reading from the old testament which, over a three year period, covers every main character and event found in the old testament. Given the feedback from E100, and that we begin the three year cycle of reading this year, we are going to commit to following the story of God’s people over the next three years. We start on June 11th with four weeks on Abraham. Some of you were present when Nadine Parkinson from Tearfund came and spoke about becoming part of the connected church network. We will be discussing at June PCC about signing up and connecting with the Kigezi Diocese in Uganda and helping with their project to bring clean water to communities. The Kigezi Diocese Water and Sanitation Programme was started in 1986 with the aim of providing clean drinking water for its local community within a walking distance of not more than 500 metres. The Kigezi Diocese Water and Sanitation Programme also provide health education to people encouraging them to improve their sanitation. The aim is to improve the health of the community (specifically decrease www.blwchurch.com

incidences of water-borne diseases), reduce the time taken to collect water, and as a result provide more time for community members to work or to attend school.
We commit to helping by praying and raising money for the projects. We will also get regular updates and the chance to visit! We also act as advocates for the project and spread the word about Tearfund and their work. Make sure you make your views known to PCC members. During the summer we hope to start having Wadworth Church open every Friday between 2-4pm. We will need volunteers to help, so have a word with John Curtis or Paul Spargo if you are interested in helping. Opening the church will give an opportunity for people who want to look at church or just sit in church. We hope to have information for people on different parts of the church. We also hope to develop a “sensory trail” around church, to help people engage with their spirituality. At Wadworth Gala on 4th June, yours truly is giving a talk in church at 12:45 and 2:30pm on Wadworth church called “Stones, Bones and Loans”; come and have a listen. There will also be a display about some aspects of church. Later in the month we have the Garden Party in the churchyard on Saturday 24th at 2.00 pm, please tell people about this and help raise important funds for church. It’s a busy month and I hope to see you . www.blwchurch.com

Faith Leaders Respond to Manchester Terror Attack “The Faith leaders representing South Yorkshire send their deepest sympathy and condolences to the families and friends of the people who lost their lives in the Manchester Arena Attack. Our thoughts go out to those who have been injured, we hold you in our thoughts and prayers. Our heartfelt appreciation to the bravery of the emergency services for their efforts in saving people’s lives and assisting those injured. At this time the need to come together, to let each other know you are safe or to be close to those you love is the most important thing of all. Now is the time for communities to come together and show that such attacks cannot overcome our care and compassion for each other”.

Given freely FREELY GIVEN Through peoples generosity we have now established an emergency food and clothes bank at Balby church. The need is constant and while we are doing OK with clothing we are running out of food. People we help often only have a kettle and no microwave or cooker, so we need food that just requires hot water adding eg instant porridge, cuppa soups, mug shots and instant and pot noodles supermarket own brands are ideal!
To remind everyone on a Tuesday morning at Balby church we are meeting people that are hungry and cannot afford to feed themselves - often resorting to crime to be able to eat! Of course, this project does not affect our support of Doncaster Foodbank, for which we still require donations. Thank you all for your generosity!
