(Schools, Outreach And Resources) is setting up a prayer network covering each of the schools in the Loughborough Area. • Do you have children or grandchildren at school? • Do you live near a local school? • Could you spare half an hour each month to meet with others and pray? There are already groups like this meeting in the area and they have been really encouraged to see their prayers being answered. If you are at all interested please contact us and we will let you know what is happening in your local school. Hilary Ayling Email: soar@btconnect.com Tel: 01509 890115 Could you do Lunch? Could you offer Sunday Lunch once a month to a student? If so, please contact Stephen. A Stranger for Christmas Visits from strangers at Christmas began with shepherds turning up at a Bethlehem stable, and continued with the arrival of wise men from a foreign land. You could carry on this tradition, by inviting an international student to spend Christmas in your home. HOST is a well-established charity, backed by the Foreign Office and many universities, which links adults studying in the UK with hospitable volunteers throughout Britain. Guests come from all over the world, including many from China. They speak English, are keen to share their own culture, while longing to know more about our way of life. Welcoming a student who might otherwise spend Christmas on a deserted campus, fosters international understanding, and will make Christmas special. See www.hostuk.org or call 0207 254 3039, for more information. HOST arranges visits throughout the year, so if your 'inn' is full this Christmas, you can still offer an invitation at another time. Local Author raising money for Unicef, selling Bible Stories for children Leanne Kilpatrick from Burbage is raising money for Unicef by compiling books of Bible stories specifically for young children aged about 4 – 8 years. She plans to release five books in time for Christmas. Leanne’s first book, “Two by Two” will be available from the publishers (Oleander Press) very soon. The style and rhymes in the books are inspired by Dr Seuss of Cat in the Hat fame. For more information, go to the publisher’s website www.oleanderpress.co.uk or order from www.amazon.com Tower The next edition of the Tower will be coming out in the beginning of December, so if you wish to have an article included then please contact either the parish office or see Stephen.
