Sandon Fête Saturday 27th June
Please put the date in your diary and tell everyone about it.

Bradwell Pilgrimage - 4th July
On Tuesday Bishop Adam and our Area Dean Simon Pearce conducted a prayer 'drive' of the deanery. They called in at Sandon and left an envelope including an invitation to the Bradwell Pilgrimage on Saturday 4th July. If that doesn't clash with other things do note it in your diary. It is well worth going to.

Tea on the Green and Songs of Praise Sunday 19th July
Starting at 3:00 pm for tea with Songs of Praise led by The Salvation Army Band at 4:00 pm.

Monthly Eco tip for May
Create a larder for bees. Choose flowers that bees can get into easily and provide them with a banquet of food. Some useful information is online here: http://www.gardenersworld.com/plants/plant- inspiration/plants-for-bees/
Plan for slugs. When it comes to sowing and planting, assume you'll have some casualties and plant more than you need. When planting out seedlings, make a circle of crushed eggshells around each one – slugs don't like crawling on a rough ground.

- Bereavement Journey - a course for friends who have lost loved ones.
A seven session weekly course on Thursdays 3:15 to 5:30 pm starting on 23rd April in the church meeting room.
Using short films and small discussion groups you will be gently guided through common aspects of grief and bereavement to help you process the death of someone important to you, whether recent or longer ago.
We are not offering counselling but rather a safe space to talk and explore the impact of your loss and work towards finding a future in your new situation.
There is a short video as an introduction at: https:// vimeo.com/821606173
To register please email Judy at [email protected] or ring/text Judy on 07983 854358 by 16th April if possible.
Only cost is £5 for the participant book.
