Help for Village people who are self-isolating Alongside the wonderful connections that the Pastoral Visitors continue to make, we are creating a list of people who could be available to help members of the Village who need support when they are self-isolating. Support would involve (but is not limited to) –
Picking up and dropping off groceries, medicine, books,
jigsaw puzzles, soup or baking etc
Walking dogs (or other
non-contact pet care)
Making soup or baking
The Ministers, clerks and parish councillors would then ask for assistance from people on the list, as requests for help are received. If you think you might be able to help, please contact Annie or Kate B. who are collating this information.
Soap – last sales at the extremely good price of $5 for 3 bars: The funds from these sales will be donated to the Tongan Relief Fund. The remaining 150 soaps are available to purchase after church at Bryndwr and Redwood, or from either Papanui or Bryndwr offices.
Creative Nest: A new start time on Tuesday mornings has been set, so we now begin at 10.30am. This makes it easier for carparking, as the fitness class using the hall finish at that time. If you would enjoy working on your project (knitting, writing, family history, scrapbooking etc) in a relaxed and friendly environment or feel like doing a jigsaw puzzle or playing scrabble with a cuppa among friends, do come along.
Easter eggs for Pillars: As we have done in previous years, we are collecting Easter eggs to be given to Pillars who distribute them to the children of people in prison. (For information about Pillars, go to www.pillars.org.nz)
Eggs can be brought to church up to and including Sunday 27th March, or left in the collection boxes at Bryndwr, Papanui and Redwood.
Book Stall and Lilliput Libraries: A reminder that we have a couple of ways for you to obtain new reading material, with our monthly after Worship Service Book Stall (next stall Sunday 13 March at Bryndwr) and the Lilliput Libraries outside Bryndwr and Papanui Village buildings.
