Honduras Trip - requests

The team leave for The Manuelito Children's Home in Honduras on Easter Sunday (one week's time!).

There are several things you may be able to help with:-
  1. Are you able to give anyone a lift to the airport for 9.15am on Easter Day (31st March) - there are just a few of us who need transport.
  2. Donate items of clothing in good condition for children from age 6 up to 18 year olds (including underwear)
  3. Have any pretty silky scarves that you don't wear? We'd love to give them to the women who work at Manuelito - also small gift sized toiletries and jewellery you may have in your drawers that you never use.
  4. Pray - definitely essential! A prayer card is available with things which would be particularly helpful for you to pray for
If you want any more information, please speak to Rosalie or another team member

A-Team Abseil - coming up

Alex, Lesley and Mark our vicar will be doing their re-arranged abseil next Saturday (23rd March) as they abseil 418 feet down the tallest permanent abseil tower in the world. (The fourth member of the team, Simon, is doing his on 25th May)

All money raised will be split 50/50 between the OCP and the Manuelito Children's Home in Honduras, and you can still sponsor them at www.justgiving.com/A-Team-Abseil

At last count the sponsorship stands at £1,380 plus gift aid - they'd love to get to £2,000

Cake sale at River church - try one!

We will be having a cake sale at River church, Maidenhead after the morning service, which will be great.

This will be a great opportunity to taste the cakes of our great bakers on the team (which they don't like to boast about)
