Eco Tip of the Week
Drink plenty fluids. As the climate emergency and temperatures keep rising to new highs, it's very important to keep cool and well hydrated. Most of us are aware of how to keep ourselves and our homes cool, but not everyone is aware that the high temperatures can affect medications, how well they work and how our bodies respond to them.
Keep medicines somewhere cool, not in the car, on a sunny windowsill or in a warm bag if you're out for the day. Heat can break down the active ingredients.
If you're on diuretics or blood pressure tablets, It's very important to drink more water to prevent dehydration and mineral imbalances. Some medications can make it harder for your body to regulate temperature and some even supress the natural thirst response.
Be aware if your medication increases your risk of sunburn and take appropriate measures.

'Bible Lyte'
Starting on Wednesday 1 July, we will be holding a Bible Study in Church after our Holy Communion Service (which starts at 10.30am). The study will start at approx. 11.15am, and will run for an hour. Refreshments will be provided. All are welcome and we hope to see you there.
Open Water Challenge
It’s that time of year when a 'not so young' lady's thoughts turn to open water swimming challenges. This year I have decided to swim from where the A1 crosses the Tweed to the lifeboat station in Berwick, a distance of 4 km. I am desperately hoping for a strong current and tide assisted! 🏊♀️🌊Think duck race or Pooh Sticks!!
I am swimming in aid of the Berwick Water Rescue Team and I would welcome any donations, however small. As you know, the RNLI are an amazing organization completely dependent on charity so I like to do my bit….in the hope I won’t need them!
Donations can be made to me directly or to the page here.
Thank you,
Cheryl
Raising Awareness of Domestic Abuse

The session will also run again on the afternoon of Saturday 10th October for anyone who wants to come outside of normal working hours.

Toast Church
Toast Church is our weekly children’s service. It runs after school on a Thursday. People are welcome to arrive any time after 3.30pm for a drink and some toast as we gather after a busy school day. At 4pm we start our service of songs, prayers, story and an activity. Parents can stay if they wish or are welcome to drop off children and pick them up at 4.30pm. The service is designed for under 11’s but all are welcome.
