Flowton Church News

It would be much appreciated if dog walkers around the Flowton lanes could either pick up their dog's messes or bring a trowel and hoik them into the ditch. 
The messes are reaching epic proportions!
Thank you.

Everybody is invited to

As mentioned in a precious Link, this year we asked for sponsors for a walk in Ipswich. On the day, walkers were Margaret Laflin and her granddaughter Isla, Graham and Diana Fawcus, and Mary Carter. Despite the weather forecast, they had lovely weather for walking, enjoying a coffee on the Waterfront, and (Graham) hearing a nightingale when by the river near the station; they also learned more about Ipswich as they walked round to find the answers to the quiz. (Did you know someone involved in the formation of the Co-operative Movement was born in Ipswich?) And Isla met the mayor of Ipswich – here they are with the walk organizer, Moira Kleissner.

Our band of walkers have raised £362 in sponsorship, which, as it was specifically raised towards water projects in Ethiopia, will be increased by the EU to a total of £1448. Congratulations and thanks to the walkers and their sponsors.

Last month’s Coffee Drop In was lovely with 2 old friends ‘dropping in’. That’s the lovely thing – you never know who will be there! Come and see next month on Wednesday, 3rd June, any time between 10 am and 11.30ish.

Quiz night - although there were not as many competitors as we had hoped at our quiz on Friday, 27th March, it was nevertheless a most enjoyable and happy evening and resulted in £200 for our church funds.  We are most grateful to John and Leita Minns, their daughter Jenny and grandson  Thomas who ran the evening for us.  If you were not there you missed a treat!
