Sevenoaks Loaves and Fishes Foodbank
The number of families needing the help of foodbanks continues to grow. Please consider whether you could add something for our local foodbank to your weekly shop.
Boxes for donations are at the back of the church.

Breakfast Church
It’s time to make new promotional cards for Breakfast Church.
If you like drawing and want to see your artwork in print please let the office have a drawing of something that happens at Breakfast church. It could be the food we eat, the tables we work round, a craft item we made or anything you remember and enjoyed at Breakfast Church. Drawings needed by the end of March please. They can also be put through Jill’s door at 37 High St if that is easier.

We would still like to widen the number of people helping to shop and cook breakfast for Breakfast Church.
If you enjoy coming, why not think about joining in to make it happen. Please see Jill Aisher, text 07989 278723 or email jill.aisher@gmail.com if you can help.
