Family Food Bank

Please continue to support the Family Food Bank in your church ... help families in distress by donating ... there is a box in your church ... Go to the Kent-wide website to see how you might help ... guidance is given on food, money, or time donations! Nonfood items like nappies and wipes are also much needed.
Steve Lillicrap and Richard Birch have vouchers and boxes available to those in need.
A summary of this important initiative as it has happened in Creekside from Charlotte.

Communion by Extension. The Ministry Leadership Team (MLT) will be leading services that are Communion by Extension. In other words they are extended from a previous Communion Service where the bread and wine have been consecrated (normally) by me. This will allow us to continue to share bread and wine together at the Lord's Table Sunday by Sunday in our various churches and I am very grateful for the MLT in enabling this for us. If you have any questions about this please do contact me. Steve Lillicrap.
