There was a dusting of icy snow when we woke on thursday, however it had melted, well before the soup was served. The steaming hot Lentil and Tomato soup went down very well after such a chilly start to the day. This soup was totally unique as it was 'blended' (several lots made in various homes tipped into a large pot!). People of all ages came along and you can see by this picture taken at the end what a great buzz there was. We raised over £95 for the Overseas Fund of the Mothers' Union not a huge ammount I know but we only charged £2 a head and we didn't even run a raffle to save hassle. Please check out the MU website to find out what sort of projects the money will be used on. www.themothersunion.org Roy, our local Bishop, has just returned from South Africa this week,he has been visiting a region called Umzimvubu, where he saw that MU were leading the most practical Aids/hiv education projects and the local MU were running many feeding stations at local schools for orphans of Aids. Our Diocese of Truro is linking with this diocese of Umzimvubu because the people there are very rich in faith and have alot to teach us, despite being materially very poor.
