ContributedMothers UnionAfter much telephoning and discussion itwas decided to carry on with the OpenFebruary meeting and even with the badweather visitors outnumbered themembers!The speaker was our own Rev. RuthHatchett giving an account of her recentholiday in the Holy Land by horseback.A pleasure in this weather to see thesunny haze of the Mediterranean climate.The journey from the north, the Sea ofGalilee, to the south, the Dead Sea anddesert was an insight to how difficulttravel must have been in the life of Jesus,especially going into the desert.The slides brought back memories for meof the time I lived in Egypt, and rode outin the desert. The talk with slides, booksand mementoes was enjoyed by all.Thank you Ruth.The next meeting on the 5th March willhave as guest speaker Mr Bob Hill tellingRiding through the desertus about TWAM (Tools With A Mission).The MU members and many friends havebeen busy knitting squares to be made up into blankets which are used to pack items fortransport overseas, making the project greener by not using plastic bubble wrap or similar.There will be some of the blankets on show. Once again anybody will be very welcome tojoin us for the afternoon - Monday 5th March 1.30 pm at Bawdsey village hall.Until then, go carefully and God bless you all.Pat Fleetwoodwww.villagevoices.org.ukMarch 2012 page 33
