Our nation is in pain with abused children, broken families, lonely elderly persons, community tensions and young people with a sense of hopelessness.

But ask the average person which candidate they’re going to assign their electoral tick to in the coming general election and you’ll be met with a smorgasbord of responses …

We start this newsletter with a huge thank you to everyone who donated food, toiletries and other goods over the Christmas period. Every year the good people of Bromsgrove and surrounding districts amaze us with their generosity – and this year was no exception. In fact this year was the best ever! We had schools, churches and other organisations collecting on our behalf, families calling in with items, sometimes every hour, and even people deciding not to buy each other presents for Christmas but giving to Basement clients instead. Final word to one of our clients, Sarah, who said: “I couldn’t have afforded much this year and wasn’t really looking …

3 – 13 MAY 2016 Rev Richard Wilde is considering a pilgrimage to Istanbul and the early churches of Asia. See the attached pdf.  Are you interested? The group he took to Greece in 2014 included several denominations and folk from his current and former churches but there was no one from any other church in Bromsgrove. You are asked to help Richard decide on the viability of this tour.  If you or any of your acquaintances may be interested in this tour please contact Richard on revricardwilde@gmail.comand indicate your interest.  This does not commit you, but it will be helpful to see whether a visit may be possible. For more information, see …
