Did anyone spot the 'Sun Halo' over the church when coming out of Mass? What a beautiful natural phenomenon!
Thanks to Gloria for the photo.
It reminds us that our precious natural world, and our God, are wonderful!

Parking Reminder: Please use the church car park whenever possible. If parking on the surrounding streets, please ensure you do not block our neighbours' driveways. We had an instance this weekend where a neighbour was unable to leave their home.
We are lucky to have ample parking, compared to other churches, so, please, let's continue to be caring, considerate and responsible in our local community. Thank you for your cooperation!

We are often asked how it works and how people can help with the CKC - many times people want to pick up an item when shopping but don't know what would best serve the needs of those using it.
Products that are the most helpful to families in need are;
Coffee / tea / tinned vegetables (potatoes, carrots, peas) / baked beans / tuna / tinned ham & 'meatballs in sauce' / pasta sauces / instant noodle / snacks.
We are lucky enough to have generous donors to the box (thank you all), as well as a link with Sainsburys who give us items from the warehouse which are damaged and can't be sold, but in date and perfectly useful to us - we share out these deliveries with a local food bank and the Ukraine Project.
There are about 7 lovely people who volunteer to keep it checked & stocked and help with sorting the new donations, but we would always love more!
Then, anyone who is in need, is invited to take a few items to help out - no questions asked. We only hope that the ones who could benefit most know about it and are confident enough to use it - we spread the word as much as we can. Then, we just 'trust the system' and hope the food is getting to those who really need it.
We are very proud of this initiative as, going by how much is taken from the CKC each week, it is clearly a necessity in our area.
Please pray for those in need or in crisis and for a positive change where schemes such as this would become a thing of the past.
Many thanks to you all. If you have any questions, please make contact.
