Courtyard Coffee Morning The Courtyard Coffee Morning held at Bethel/Bethesda Residential Home was successful despite the windy weather driving the event indoors and other functions on the day possibly taking some of our customers. The stalls, raffle and donations raised a total of £514.50. This sum will be divided between our two churches after deduction of £50 which has been sent to the Church Lads and Church Girls Brigade for their playing in the courtyard even though only a few hardy residents and visitors joined them outside. Thank you to all who helped on the day and to Freda, Jane and John for using the event to raise funds for the churches who will each receive £232.25 A book has been written on the history of Earl Shilton and the connection with Lady Byron by David Herbert.

The photographs were taken by the Vicar, Rev. G. Gittings. The photograph on the left was taken by Lake Galilee where Jesus met Peter after the Resurrection and asked if he loved Him. The centre is of the Garden of Gethsemane and the right is of the Church of the Holy Nativity at Bethlehem. If you would like a photograph emailing on any subject out of the vast collection of photographs that the Vicar has please email him and every effort will be made to match your choice of subject with a photograph or drawing. A donation to church funds would be appreciated.
