Dear friends,

"Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in.
Aim at earth and you will get neither."
CS Lewis


Mission Sunday and bring & share lunch
This Sunday (11 May) is Mission Sunday and we have a guest speaker, Alex McCann. There is also a Church "Bring & Share Lunch" afterwards - please sign up on the sheet at the back of church or email elmswellrector@gmail.com if you would like to come (and what food item you can bring).

Men's Breakfast and Ladies Tea – 17 May
The next men’s breakfast is on 17 May (8:20am for 8:30am) - please sign up at the back of church or email Peter (elmswellrector@gmail.com) if you would like to come. Later that day at 3pm, there is a Ladies Tea, when Liz Mellen will be speaking about her time in Africa, helping women to use craft skills to earn a living, and also how her work in Suffolk as a potter is influenced by her faith. There will be plenty of drinks, cake and fruit to enjoy. If you would like to come, please sign up at church or let Lisa (legoodridge@gmail.com) or Amanda (amanda.fairgrieve.577@btinternet.com) know.
