ART INSTALLATION 7 - 28 JUNE We are delighted that the artists Peter and Heidi Gardner will be creating an installation on the grass beside the church path on the West Mayfield side, to be in place for three weeks in June. For their work, see https://www.gardnerandgardner.co.uk/ It is called ‘Hope Glimmers’, and will be created with themes in mind of renewal and hope, uniting the congregation and community as we begin to emerge from COVID-19. Watch this space (literally!).
CHRISTIAN AID WEEK 10 - 16 MAY 2021 This year Christian Aid shifts its attention back to the climate crisis and our global neighbours in Kenya who continue to battle the effects of extreme weather. People like Rose Katanu Jonathan, who is caught in a cycle of climate chaos. From severe drought to flooding, extreme weather robs her of what she needs to survive: a reliable source of water. The coronavirus pandemic has only made this lack of water more critical for Rose’s family as handwashing with soap and water is vital to stay safe against the virus.
This Christian Aid Week, will you stand with people like Rose?
With your support, Christian Aid can help communities withstand climate chaos: from building better earth dams to harvest more water, to sowing drought-tolerant crops, to demanding climate justice at the highest level.
Pray for climate justice at caid.org.uk/prayerchain. Take action for climate justice at caid.org.uk/climatejusticepetition. Give for climate justice at caweek.org, or by telephone on 020 7523 2269. Mayfield Salisbury’s Christian Aid Team is immensely grateful for all your generous support.
IN-PERSON RETURN ON 16 MAY! In-person Youth Group sessions will be resuming from today until 20 June. Age groups will alternate weeks, and sessions will be for 1.5 hours. Hillary will be in touch with parents with further important covid-related details about the sessions, and information about how to book (booking is essential as capacity is limited). The P6-S1 Youth Group will meet tonight from 7.00-8.30pm. Contact Hillary if you have any other questions!
PLEASE NOTE Due to current restrictions, Revd Dr Sandy Forsyth is regrettably unable to meet after the service today. Please feel free to be in contact by telephone 0131 667 1286 or by email at
PASTORAL CARE The weather certainly has been a challenge for those of us that had hoped to do some garden visits. “Ne’er cast a cloot ‘til May is oot” has never been so true! If you would now like to have a pastoral visitor or would like someone to phone you regularly, please contact me so that I can arrange that for you. Sandy and I are looking forward to meeting the pastoral visitors individually over zoom this Monday and Tuesday. We are so grateful for all that you do. Please notify us if you are going into hospital. Kay 07903 266307.
