Churches The Well Methodist Church As we write, there is still uncertainty as to whether the coronavirus is a threat to our society, and, how Russia’s war with Ukraine will end. The latter has caused great concern and we were pleased that we were able to have our March charity coffee morning for the Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal, through the Disasters Emergency Committee. We are grateful to the community who supported this event and gave generously; the final amount raised was £1000. A splendid sum – thank you! We continue with our monthly charity Coffee Mornings, usually on the third Saturday of the month, throughout the year, apart from August and December. Watch out for the posters or look on our website to see which charity is being supported. In 2020we had planned to celebrate our 125thAnniversary and launch the three congregations of Boxted, West Bergholt and Mile End coming together to form The Well Methodist Church, but this had to be deferred because of the coronavirus outbreak. We have now planned our coming together to be celebrated at a special service on Sunday 3rd July. We have been able to restart our ecumenical activities in Mile End, and, on Palm Sunday we met at St Joseph’s to share in the blessing of palm crosses and the reading of the Passion of Jesus. The ‘Drop In’ between 9 and 11am on a Tuesday continues during term times 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. During the Easter holidays Make Lunch Myland operated, providing a hot meal on a Thursday for those families who would have had free school meals. We pray regularly for places where readers of this magazine live. If you have a particular prayer request, please let us know.
