TURNING TIDES
Deacon Sarah continues to take weekly parcels of "tuck" to the Roffey Place accommodation which Turning Tides is running for the resettlement of homeless people from across West Sussex. She would be glad of your continuing support in this, and is grateful for donations of biscuits, snacks, crisps and chocolate etc in the boxes in the churches.
Although we do not yet have much connection with the residents, it is important that there is a relationship between the church and Turning Tides, so that they know that we support their work and appreciate what is being done locally.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
