Celebrating Church in the Peaks Save the dates Anniversary Saturday 10th November - Evening Party at County Hall Sunday 11th November - Morning Celebration at County Hall Jigsaw - By Deb Haworth All of the Jigsaw ministries continue to reach out to the poor, those in need and the homeless in the Derbyshire Dales. Our befriending work helps by supporting people through change and standing with them in difficulty. All of the services we offer through Jigsaw provide opportunities for this befriending. We currently provide a household goods service, on average, once a month and we are looking forward to purchasing our van and putting it to use. Ways in which you can help Jigsaw: • Prayer – the work we do is practical but the battles we face are spiritual and we need the constant prayer cover of our brothers and sisters in Christ; • Recycle – clothes for the clothes bank, especially for boys and teenagers – most of our clients are young single people or families with children; • Tins – non-perishable goods can be left in the Tin Bin on a Sunday morning and go into our crisis food parcels; • Treats – our market garden parcels regularly provide meat, vegetables, bread and eggs to 17 local households. We try to supplement this with groceries and the occasional treat and any contributions are very welcome; • Donate – your unwanted household goods could be the start of someone’s new home. We provide everything that is needed from tea towels to washing machines. Tin Bin Every Sunday there is a black plastic ‘Tin Bin’ near the Tea & Coffee table. Any tins given are used for the crisis food parcels for people referred to Jigsaw. Don’t non-perishable goods only. Egg Boxes Empty egg boxes can now be put into the Tin Bin as well. The boxes will be filled with eggs for the weekly Market Garden Food Parcels. Page 4
