Churches The Well Methodist Church The Food Pantry, which we plan to operate on a Tuesday, has still not started due to our food supplier, FareShare, being unable to supply food until they find larger premises. In the meantime we have a ‘Drop In’ between 9 and 11am on a Tuesday, and adults and children are welcome to come for a free ‘Cuppa’ and cake. It also provides an opportunity to collect any surplus food we have to give away. We restarted our charity Coffee Mornings on 20th November, when £75.15 was raised for Samaritan’s Purse. Some shoeboxes were also received, (with more given online), for Operation Christmas child. On Sunday 21st November, we had our annual Caring Service, when we collected donations for three local charities; Beacon House Ministries (an agency for the homeless in Colchester), Next Chapter (formerly Women’s Aid) and Colchester Engagement & Next Steps (formerly Colchester Night Shelter). Mark Snelling was our guest speaker, telling us about his work with refugees in Colchester. Our Candlelit Carol Service on Sunday 19th December was an enjoyable occasion. A retiring collection raised £61.50 for the Colchester Korban Project – a Christian charity which provides supported housing for 16 – 25 year olds. As we write, there is still uncertainty about the spread of the coronavirus and as to whether we can hold our planned events. Please visit our website for up to date information: www.thewell-myland.org.uk Whatever events we hold, risk assessments and procedures are in place to keep everyone safe and comfortable.
