have never donated to give either 5 items of food(tinned food, UHT milk,
teabags) or a fiver. Food donations can be dropped into foodbank ‘bins’ at
Asda, Sainsbury’s or Tesco or taken to King’s Church. Fivers can be donated by
cheque or cash in an envelope marked Hastings Foodbank. Foodbank thanks you for

Urgent: Please
act now to defend the Life Charity
The
Government recently announced their decision to grant the Life charity £250,000
for “housing, practical help, counselling,
emotional support and life skills training for young pregnant women who are
homeless” in west London. This has prompted a wholly unjustified attack
by the media and ‘pro-choice’ lobby groups. Life
do not, as has been widely suggested, pressure women. They are simply there to
support women who wish to exercise their choice to keep their babies. For some
such women, Life is their only hope.

they receive this grant see:
PRAYER
Dear
God, in the battle that goes on in life,
I
ask for a field that is fair.
A
chance that is equal in all of the strife,
A
chance to do and to dare.
And
if I should win, let it be by the code,
With
my heart and my honour held high;
But
if I should lose, let me stand by the road,
And
cheer as the winners pass by.
