Dear Sisters and Brothers

Many of you will remember that Banbury Ward has supported the Banbury Foodbank from time to time.

As we know, many families and individuals are struggling financially at the moment and Foodbanks across the country are busier than ever supporting those in need.

Across the Coventry Stake and beyond, we are asked to take part in a Harvest Appeal during 17th to 22nd October. We understand that not everyone will be in a position to make donations but for those of us who can, we will place a "Deposit Box" in the foyer.

The Banbury Foodbank have an urgent need of the following items;

Tinned Fruit
Long Life Milk
Tinned Soup
Rice Pudding
Jars of Pasta Sauce.

Please make your families, friends and neighbours aware of this as often, people want to help others, but just don't know how to.

If you have any questions about this, please ask a member of the Bishopric

Many thanks

Bishop Waddington

LOVED THIS AND HAD TO SHARE …..

This is a beautiful song about Broken and how the Savior heals those are broken like me and you.

Jeffrey R. Holland said:
Whatever your struggle, my brothers and sisters—mental or emotional or physical or otherwise—do not vote against the preciousness of life by ending it! Trust in God. Hold on in His love. Know that one day the dawn will break brightly and all shadows of mortality will flee. Though we may feel we are “like a broken vessel,” as the Psalmist says, we must remember, that vessel is in the hands of the divine potter. Broken minds can be healed just the way broken bones and broken hearts are healed. While God is at work making those repairs, the rest of us can help by being merciful, nonjudgmental, and kind.

This is not my song nor are any of these pictures. I just compiled them for the song to put it on youtube because I couldn't find it on here.

Someone is always there for you …… what a wonderful thought to have with us this week

In the October '07 Saturday afternoon session of conference, Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin stepped to the pulpit to deliver his remarks.

As he began, his voice started to crack and become weak. With all his might and ALL the energy he could muster, he continued speaking.

Moments later, his body started to shake. Slowly at first, then more rapidly. I remember watching at home, thinking he was going to pass out. I wanted someone to step in and help him!

Someone did step in and helped him.

Who?

Russell M. Nelson.

President Nelson was sitting a few feet away as Elder Wirthlin begin to shake. Because he was a trained medical doctor, he immediately jumped up to support his dear brother. Gently and slowly, he reached underneath his suit coat to feel the beating of his heart. Elder Wirthlin was literally in the BEST hands in that exact moment.

His brother was there to support him.

What was Elder Wirthlin speaking about? His talk was called, "The Great Commandment." He spoke powerfully about loving and serving one another.

As Elder Wirthlin spoke powerful testimony about love and service, President Nelson was showing us by his example, those words in action.

Nothing was ever said about this moment. We all witnessed it and could tell something special had just happened.

Fast forward to the October 2017 Saturday Afternoon Session. Elder Andersen stood to give his remarks. In it he said the following:

"How kind of the Lord to impress upon President Russell M. Nelson right at the end of this morning’s session to quickly leave the building, skip his lunch, and hurry to the bedside of Elder Hales, where he could arrive and be there, his quorum president, with the angelic Mary Hales as Elder Hales graduated from mortality."

After the morning session, President Nelson immediately and without fanfare, rushed to Elder Hales' side to support him as he passed to his heavenly home.

Once again, President Nelson stood with his brother in a time of need.

A Powerful example for us all!
