Donation to “So They Can.”
Last week on 22nd of May the Education and Social
Committee donated $850 to “So They Can,” to help
them in their efforts to educate, support and keep the community safe. Some of
funds will be used for Education packs, masks, and water stations. Part of
the donation will be used for simple screens for the birthing rooms to provide
privacy for the mothers during delivery. This would encourage larger numbers to
come to the clinic for delivery. Which would provide a better health outcome
for the baby and the mother. Currently lack of privacy, challenges many
cultural norms, & keeps women away. This gift to so they can tie up with
the beautiful jumpers knitted by the congregation which is so loved by the mums
Litany of the Holy Spirit – (also set to music)
the first three
verses of the Litany by Robert Herrick (1591-1674)
In the hour of my distress,
When temptations me oppress,
And when I my sins confess,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me!
When I lie within my bed,
Sick in heart and sick in head,
And with doubts discomforted,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me!
When the house doth sigh and weep,
And the world is drowned in sleep,
Yet mine eyes the watch do keep,
Sweet Spirit, comfort me!

EASTWOOD CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY AID
Did you notice the dip in the temperature during
the week? Your help is very welcome in building stocks of canned, warming foods
which will help those less fortunate than ourselves. Also remember that many
lonely people depend on their four-footed or bird friends for company and those
need feeding too.
