CHRISTIAN AID WEEK 15TH - 21ST MAY
For the first time in a generation, global poverty is rising. Covid-19, conflict and the climate crisis are pushing more of our global neighbours into a struggle for survival. 
Women and men in Zimbabwe are hungry to provide a more hopeful future. Mums often skip meals to share with their children what little food they have.
One of these mums is Jessica Mwedzi. Drought makes every day a struggle for survival. Jessica is hungry. Hungry for a good meal. Hungry to earn a decent living. Hungry to provide a more hopeful future for her family.
‘My children crave a good meal, but I can’t provide.’ Jessica says. ‘It pains me to send them to bed hungry.’   
Your gift could help Jessica grow drought-resistant crops. You could help her set up a water tap on her farm and learn how to grow food in the harsh climate. She’ll turn her dry, dusty land into a garden of hope. 
HOW YOU CAN HELP –

Ukraine and Russia
Please continue to pray for the people of Ukraine and Russia.
*That any peace negotiations held are done so with integrity, open minds and a real desire for long-lasting peace. 
*For all those who have had to leave their homes, they may feel comforted and cared for. 
*For those who stayed behind,  we pray for their protection and safety. 
*For the many people in Russia who are demonstrating their opposition to the war, maybe in danger and who may need to get out of Russia.
*We give thanks to all those individuals, families and organisations giving practical help to anyone who needs it.

Sacristan at Masham
We have had a very faithful sacristan team at Masham for many years, a few of whom have now stepped down. It is a very important role, needs a consistent team, and we are looking for new team members. Essentially, it is to prepare the altar and sacraments for communion and put them away afterwards. If you would like to know more about what it entails please ask Rev. Sian, one of the churchwardens, or Ros Arnold. You would be doing us all a great service.
REWARD OFFERED (not really!)
A few years ago The Arts Society made a Church Record of St Mary’s and presented us with a bound copy and two photocopies. If you know where the photocopies are please let any of the Church Wardens know, as we are not able to lay our hands on them and know they are somewhere!
DBS
The DBS process is in full swing now and many people have completed the process successfully. Thank you for your co operation and patience. Anyone receiving their certificates please make a copy and let Judith, the Administrator, have it for the church records. You are welcome to leave it in your church vestry, if you are at Healey, Masham, or North Stainley, as i can get access. If you are from Well with Snape or West Tanfield, please let your church warden have the copy and Judith will arrange to collect it from them. 
Anyone unable to make a copy please contact Judith on 01765 688246 or ad.mashamparishes@gmail.com  and she will be happy to copy it for you.
