Pyrland School
A big "thank you" to all those who gave stationery items for Pyrland School.
I filled 26 pencil cases for Robin to take to the School Chaplain, Alison Vercoe, and there was also a selection of extra items which had not been specifically requested but would be useful.
I have enough supplies to send in a few more cases later in the term. Ruth Cook

Collect (Prayer):
Almighty God,
who in the passion of your blessed Son
made an instrument of painful death
to be for us the means of life and peace:

that we may gladly suffer for his sake;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.

Faithful God,
whose Son bore our sins in his body on the tree
and gave us this sacrament to show forth his death until he comes:
give us grace to glory in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,
for he is our salvation, our life and our hope,
who reigns as Lord,
now and for ever.
