Memorial Bench Fund for Harry Isaacs

The young man who tragically lost his life was named as 20 year old Harry Isaacs.  Social media has been flooded with tributes to this hard working, popular, smiling farmer.
Jack Ruston has created a Fundraising page on behalf of Ollie Saloman-Carter, who had the brilliant idea of creating a memorial bench for him in Beaminster park.
At the time of publishing, they have achieved £635 of their £1,000 target.
If there are surplus donations – the money will be given to Harry’s parents to help towards funeral costs.

Summer Family Fun from Beaminster Team Churches

Beaminster Team Churches - Holiday FunAs an alternative to their usual summer activities which cannot proceed due to social distancing,  Beaminster Team churches are putting together activity packs for families to help ease some of the summer holiday boredom. Each pack contains suggestions and resources for crafts, science experiments, art projects and activities themed around four bible stories. There will be accompanying videos on their website.

Most activities are achievable by children on their own if they can read the instructions. Younger children might require more support and some activities are for the whole family to enjoy. There is a weekly challenge to complete and send in a photo to win a prize.

Free resource packs will be available from 27th July. You need to register to receive one of these. Please complete the form HERE.

They are also putting some suggestions in the pack for the family to pray together and talk about God together. If you are interested in growing faith at home do look at the links below which they believe might give you some suggestions. They are also happy to help support you.
