Earlier this year, for Sudbury on Show, Ruth produced a leaflet detailing regular activities run by local churches, such as toddler and baby groups, cafes and coffee mornings, community pantries, charity shops, craft, interest and youth groups.

As the details are likely to change from time to time, we are asking individual churches and organisations to print copies as needed, rather than CTiS&D having a large number printed.

Please download from: https://churchestogetherinsudbury.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Church-activities-leaflet-for-SoS-March-2024.pdf .

This Sunday afternoon, please come to the Cricket match, Shimpling Village v Chadacre  from 12:30 onwards in the Chadacre grounds, IP29 4JD. There will be opportunity to visit the grotto, sedge and rose gardens. Refreshments will be available. Free entry. In aid of St George’s Shimpling East Window Appeal.

A local Christian writes:

I have collected Christian tracts over a number of years and in the past, had handed out many.  I now have a surplus and rather than recycle them, I wondered whether CTiS would have any use for them. I have always found them easy to understand and helpful.

If you can make use of these, please reply to me at ctis.news@gmail.com and I will pass your message on.
