| NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS Following the death of Queen Elizabeth the church has been open daily for prayer and reflection. A book of Condolence is in the church for anyone to fill in. We pray for the Royal family mourning a huge loss, and for King Charles lll as he begins his reign. God save the King. THE UKRAINIAN REFUGEE CRISIS A group of people from the church and the wider community joined together to form a Ukrainian Family Support Group. They have successfully sponsored and invited a small Ukrainian family to live in Tillington. There was a fund-raising effort which produced an incredible response, with which we furnished and equipped a little cottage, paid for their journey and are supporting their living expenses. The mother and daughter lost everything, their new flat and all their possessions when the Russians bombed their town outside Kyiv. It shattered their lives and their dreams. They are extremely moved and grateful for the kindness and help they have received and are busy learning English as fast as they can. The daughter has started school and really loves it. They are finding many ways of settling into life here in UK and making friends. The most important thing for them both is to improve their English. A wonderful volunteer from the community is giving lessons every day, and although it's really hard, they are working tirelessly to make progress. There is a chance of a new life here while the war continues, but their hearts are also with their country under ferocious attack and the family that are still in Ukraine. They will appreciate our friendship and support over the coming months. This is a remarkable community to be part of, our thanks to everyone who has helped with this team effort.
