JDRF (Juvenile Diabetic Research Foundation Ltd)
At present type 1 diabetes (over 29000 children in the UK) is a life-long condition needing daily blood tests averaging 5 to 6 finger pricks, injections and dietary intake monitoring, as well as serious health risks. Our granddaughter (from age 8, now 10 years old) and a great nephew (from age 4, now 6 years old) both have type 1 diabetes. We plan to run in support of the work of JDRF. Please encourage us if you can with a money donation via us so that we complete a 5 km run (it's a two for one 'deal'!) in Waddesdon Manor grounds on Wednesday 20th July. Thank you Mick & Anne White
Confirmation
Confirmation is often seen as the entry point to receive Holy Communion as a person ‘confirms’ the promises made on their behalf at their Baptism. Whatever age you are, if you’re interested in taking this step in your Christian journey please speak with James as it’s likely that there will be an opportunity to attend a confirmation service in the area in September.
