Help for Ukraine

8/3/2022

 
Picture
Local company Armishaws Removals are collecting items their drivers will be transporting to Ukrainian refugees in Poland and are appealing for donations. 
Having already sent two vehicles loaded with vital supplies such as clothing, food, nappies and toys, Armishaws, a family-owned company, are planning their next run and donations can be taken to one of three depots (details below). 
Our contacts in Poland have told us they are mostly helping women and children as the majority of men are staying in or returning to Ukraine. 
Company founder Lloyd Armishaw said, “We’re only too happy to play a small part in the aid effort and have been overwhelmed by the generosity and strength of feeling among people wanting to help those fleeing Ukraine, in any way they can.”

Items needed…
• New underwear
• Toiletries, sanitary products
• Nappies, wet wipes
• Toys, colouring books, pens, crayons
• First aid supplies – bandages, etc
• Baby food
• Torches, batteries
• Long-life food – tins, pasta, etc
• Instant foods

Anyone donating items is kindly asked to only leave items between 8:30am - 4:00pm so they can be gathered out of wet weather. We cannot send wet items.

The Church of St Mary in Stalbridge has appointed a new rector! The Revd Canon Richard Hancock will be the new Rector of Stalbridge.  Richard is currently Priest in Charge of Sixpenny Handley and Rural Hope Field Officer for Dorset.  He will be licensed sometime in late May or early June.  Richard will bring the necessary gifts and skills to develop mission and ministry in the town, as well as the experience and enthusiasm for rural ministry.  Richard is married to Kate and they have two grown-up sons.  We trust his appointment will be well worth the wait!

The Church of St Mary in Stalbridge will be holding a four-week Lent course, starting on Wednesday 9th March from 6.45pm – 8.30pm at Judy’s house (Wynhill, Gold Street, DT10 2LX).  We’ll use excerpts from the film “The King’s Speech” and the Bible to explore ways in which fear holds us back and examine how we, like Bertie (King George VI), can face and overcome our fears and begin to find our true voice. No previous knowledge of the Bible or church is necessary, only an interest in meeting others and sharing ideas. Everyone is welcome, it’s completely free, just bring an open heart and mind. For catering purposes please show your interest by contacting Simon Witcomb on 07 989 855 582 or simon@witcombs.co.uk.
