Bungay’s Christian Aid committee is planning a month of events in May.
It has extended the usual Christian Aid Week to spread it over four weeks and make it more convenient for people to support more of the events.
These begin on Sunday, May 13 with a Christian Aid service at Emmanuel Church – featuring a guest speaker from the charity – at 10.30am. Next Thursday, May 17 a town street collection takes place. A Spring fair, featuring numerous stalls, is held from 10am to 1pm on Saturday, May 19 in Emmanuel Church’s Orange Hall.
On Sunday, May 27, from 2.30pm to 4.30pm an entertaining afternoon of music, words and homemade scones is held in Emmanuel Church, featuring the Waveney Brass Ensemble. And on Saturday, June 9, at 7pm, a quiz will be held in Emmanuel Church’s Orange Hall.
Tickets for the events are available from Rod Woods on 01986 893294, or Tim Durell on 01986 894566.
