SOUTH MALLING CHURCH: (One of the three Trinity churches) welcomes Advent on Sunday and the beginning of the new church year. Revd Jeremy Bamber will be leading the service which is contemporary in style. All are welcome. Advent is a time of preparation for Christmas when Christians believe that God came into the world in the person of Jesus, who in his actions and his teaching showed what God expected from humanity. He is given the name Emmanuel (God with us) and the great Christian prayer for this time is Come Lord Jesus.
TENANTS AND RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION: At the AGM last week, members were told that the Foodbank had been given part of the proceedings from the sale of a van which had belonged to one of the other Lewes Foodbanks, now closed. The Malling Foodbank is close to securing a new location at the Phoenix Centre, at a very reasonable rent, so the future is looking good. Supported by the tenants and residents association, the Foodbank has now been in existence since August 2015 and it looks like it is now firmly established with a secure location on the horizon, reasonable funding and the generosity of local stores. Their funding comes from churches and South Malling School, with the active support of local councillors and the possibility of occasional grants and financial gifts together with a small charge from users helps to keep things going. Most of the regular Food comes through Fareshare, who collect from generous supermarkets. More about the move when details are confirmed.
