Camber

Church News: The service in Camber was led by Rev Helen Patten .Helen does a terrific job, but truth to tell everyone is enchanted (as usual) by her lovely guide dog Ingle. Helen is quite used to the attention her beloved Ingle attracts, so these comments won,t come as a surprise to her.

From a charity perspective October is “Shoebox “ month , Every year there is the opportunity to fill ordinary sized shoeboxes with specific items , decorate the shoebox with Christmas paper and give it in to the Camber Church by the latest date of 28th October .The boxes will then be taken down to St Marys Rye before being shipped to countries in Eastern Europe. These boxes go to families go to families living in severe poverty and are often the only gifts that they receive, This time for the first time you can chose whether you fill a box for a family or for one for an elderly person. If you are interested in making a contribution you can ring Jean Pickering on 01797 458516, she has all of the details and can make sure you get it right. Its all organised very specifically so that the boxes pass through customs procedures easily.

Celebrations at the church on Sunday, The Lomath family are bringing their newest member , Jack for baptism .This will be during the usual morning communion service starting at 10.30am. The icing on the cake is that our own Dear Rev Lucy will be coming back to lead the service.
