cold, and it is
essential that they get at least one good meal a day.

Meadowhall have opened a Quiet Room for those visiting the shopping complex.
It is
situated in the Management suite on the ground floor at the back of the Oasis
Food Hall
(recently refurbished). It is indicated on the board maps, overhead signs
and customer
leaflets. It is stressed that it is a Quiet Room and not a Prayer Room, but
people are
welcome to use it for private prayer and meditation if they so wish. Users
sign in at the
Reception Desk and the room is then unlocked. Mobile phones, food and drink
are not
allowed. If you have any comments about it, please let me know in writing,
and if
appropriate I will pass them on to the management. Stuart Matthews email:

CHURCH FLOWERS—NORA BROOK
After many years of dedicated service organising the church flowers Nora has
decided to
step down in order to focus on her reader ministry. If anyone is willing and
able to take over
her duties, which could be shared, then please see the Vicar or wardens. We
need
someone to organise the rota for flowers on Sundays and maybe someone else
to organise
a rota for wedding flowers. We are truly grateful for all that Nora has given
in this role in the
past. If you would like to volunteer to arrange the flowers please let Chris
or David know.
