Following the recent CTIB meeting, Sue writes to update us:

BOSTON PROTEST MARCH

19th November - at the time of the meeting this march had been postponed but the anti protest march hadn't. It was felt every effort should be made in prayer to ensure this day will be cancelled by all parties and reconciliation and peace will be over the town.

RETAIL CHAPLAIN 

 Do you have any member of your congregation interested to join in the Lay support team. Revd Irena Byron has had a vision for the town for a while and is now bringing this together. She has become Store Chaplain to ASDA and hopes to grow this contact with all the other retail business in the town. CTiB support her with this project and she has asked for prayer and support. Please let me know of the folk you feel may wish to join Revd Irena.

PLANNING COMMITTEE HOLY WEEK 2013 

 Do you have anyone interested in joining the planning committee for this week as we welcome visitors from Trinity College, Bristol. It is planned we may have drama and other combined activities and could be a great week.

EMERGENCY NIGHT SHELTER 

 The rota is being set up again ready for this winter and we have 40 bags of bedding ready for our visitors. We do need to fund raise to pay for the heating and food we supply so if you have any opportunity to let folk know please do. Last year we had 28 continual days open due to the weather temperature being below freezing. It is very important we have this shelter open as the homeless have no where to go.

CAROL SERVICE DETAILS

 We have been invited by Boston Borough Council to join in the Christmas Market being held 10th /11th December in the centre of town. We need singers and band players. Final details and times are to come but we felt it a good opportunity to hand out a leaflet detailing when the carol services are on in each church. Please send details to me (Sue) as soon as possible but no later than 24th November so they can be prepared and printed in time.
