Hey all,
Thank you to all those who came and contributed on Friday night to the team meeting. We were thinking about how we promote the spiritual thread of Friday evenings, Phill is having a go at putting some of our ideas on computer screen so watch this space [ ] .
Pakistan Floods Appeal
We also talked about holding a fundraiser for Pakistan and agreed to mash it up with the already Christian Aid themed evening on 1st October – you will be bombarded with emails as the ball rolleth through the organisation process, lucky you. Thanks for all you thoughts on this; being embroiled in the humanitarian side of this work and utterly flummoxed at how quickly the people of Pakistan have been forgotten … means that I need a good dose of your good sense and realism.
To clarify, pushing the event back DOES have a cost – people really are in desperate need of our funds right now and as each week passes the long term effects of this disaster are only escalating. However, pushing back the date DOES enable us to put on a night of quality, well publicised and with a much more alive version of the Friday Night Coordinator, therefore and without excuse raising much much much much more money.
I still need you (I may even burst into song), an emphatic thank you to those who have been in touch with your musician bookings and contact details (see, you don’t need me at all!). Also, we need a lot of cupcakes… anyone?
This Week
Sign up to say if you’re coming over on the left hand panel and read all the latest news while you're here. Also, if someone finds the mistake I only just noticed I’ll give them a CleverClogs Muffin. The Dean of Exeter is coming to lead a Communion so tell your friends (and invite them, preferably, or just boast, up to you)
Over and Out
Laura
