Food Bank
The container is at the back of the church. Our contributions go to the Brightlingsea food bank.
If you are able to donate any of the following this would go a long way to support families facing hardship: washing up liquid, tinned fruit, tinned meat, long life milk, long life juice, teabags, pasta sauce, washing up liquid, sugar, tinned potatoes, deodrants and shampoo.
Many thanks for your support.
Parish Magazine
The magazine is published monthly and is delivered to your door by one of our volunteers. We aim to publish articles and events which will appeal to everyone and to keep you informed as to what is happening in and around Great Bentley including church services, groups, organisations and the Parish Council reports.
It is printed on our own printer and collated and stapled by volunteers in the Church Hall on the last Friday of each month.
