Grenfell Tower Relief Appeal
The South West Ipswich Team Ministry has created a Grenfell Tower Relief Appeal.
Following the awful tragedy at the Grenfell Tower in Kensington churches in Suffolk on Sunday 18th June will be taking collections for the people of Grenfell Tower, not just to provide immediate relief, but to support the survivors and their community for the long process of rebuilding their lives.
Anyone who is not attending church this Sunday can put a donation, or a cheque payable to SWITM PCC, in an envelope through the letterbox of the Rectory.

It was lucky that I arrived late the day before since I had to go back to the cathedral to take some pictures. When I came out the heavens opened and there was thunder and lightning, so I waited for the skies to clear. An earlier start and I would have been in the thick of it outside.

Nice to feel no pressure first thing in the morning. The only other guests were Australians who seemed to be almost permanently on holiday, well at least from the list of holiday destinations that they told me about. Met my ‘twin’ Judy and her husband Peter at the cathedral, having first met Patryk, initially from Poland, walking the End-to-End with his fluffy gorilla Wilson Continue reading “Ian’s Cathedral Ride – Update – Days 41-43”
