MOROCCO EARTHQUAKE & LIBYAN FLOODING
We will all have been appalled by the destruction and loss of life in the recent Earthquake in Morocco and the destructive flooding in Libya.
People have been left without shelter in dreadful conditions, with humanitarian needs expected to grow in the coming days, weeks and months. Access to clean water will likely be a challenge, bringing the risk of cholera and other diseases. DEC charities and their local partners are among the first responders, working with locally-led relief efforts. Immediate priorities are search and rescue, medical treatment for the injured, shelter for those who have lost their homes, as well as food and blankets, clothes, and particularly clean water.
So, to help we are having a Retiring Collection over the next few weekends. In addition, we will add to your donations from Parish Funds.
If you wish to make a donation, you can put in an envelope marked “Emergency Appeal” and hand it in. Please make any cheques payable “to St. Josephs”. Or you can use Internet Banking to make a payment to :-

Children’s Instruments for the Music Group
We know that we are very lucky to have so many young people at St Joseph’s Church, and so we would love to be able to get them involved in our music! If you have any spare child-friendly instruments at home (shakers, tambourines, bells etc) we would be very grateful for your donations please. We want to invite any children that would like to join in with our exit hymn to select an instrument and play along 🎵
