Results from the Project Uganda Car Wash

Results
1. 32 Cars washed in 2 hours
2. £167.50 raised
3. 64 people can now sleep under mosquito nets
4. More people aware of what Project Uganda is and what it is doing
5. New people meeting each other
6. Great fun generated
7. An extra inch on my waist line because of all the yummy cakes!

We washed 32 cars and raised £167.50 for Project Uganda, that is enough mosquito nets for 64 people! Jamie and Jackie Biggins brought a brilliant stand that illustrated all the excellent work the project has done and how each initiative is started and led by the people in Uganda. It was good to see there was a lot a "buzz" within the coffee room and outside washing the cars. We may well do a charity car wash again as we have all the equipment and experience now!
If anyone has a suggestion about how we "Food For Thought" can help raise money for the charities in Winterslow then please share your ideas with us, we would love to help in anyway possible

Bring enough money for a Fish n Chip supper as after the Treasure Hunt we have been given permission to eat them in the cloisters!

Please note the date change from the 22nd as published in the parish magazine to the 29th March

Look forward to seeing you there!

What is Food For Thought?

A couple of years ago a few of us in All Saints, Winterslow got together to explore the possibility of creating a more accessible, non-traditional and complimentary fresh expression of church within our village.

Much prayer and planning went into the original proposal and with the blessing of Nils, our vicar and the PCC we got the go-ahead to begin a monthly meeting in the village hall called Food For Thought.

With an emphasis on good food, short services, plenty for children to do and a fun, family atmosphere, many are finding it’s right for them. Now in it’s third year we’re still on a fast learning curve.

A survey told us, yes, people like it - we must continue, but we ourselves feel we’ve still a long way to go. It’s at times exciting, at times fun, at times frustrating and at times just plain old hard work, but, just like the people who come, we’re all on a journey and right now, there’s no place we’d rather be!
