From the wider Anglican family: One man’s passion, a whole village’s blessing
When Gerry decided to take up baking after the death of his wife, he simply wanted to keep busy. Six years later, his famous sausage rolls and cakes have raised over £46,000 for his church. At 90 years old, he’s now baking more than 70 hours a week—and bringing his whole village together in the process. It’s a beautiful reminder of how something as simple as bread can nourish both body and community.

Mark Your Diary: Special Events
Women’s Breakfast – 18th July, 9 am
Join us for a morning of conversation and connection with speaker Mona Lenzen Abouleish, who brings a unique perspective as a bridge between cultures of the Orient and Occident.
Over breakfast, we’ll explore how genuine interest and respect for one another opens new horizons—and share our own experiences along the way. Whether you’ve lived across cultures or simply want to listen and learn, this is an invitation to be part of something meaningful.
Please get in touch to register in advance.
We look forward to seeing you there.

Supporting the ACF financially
We’re so grateful for your support and prayers for our church. We are independent from any external funding sources, such as German taxes (Kirchesteuer), the Church of England, or other institutions. We depend on the generous donations of our members and friends to cover all our expenses (the minister’s salary, rent, insurances, diocese contributions, …). Unfortunately, our reserves are running low and we need your help to keep going.
We want to continue to serve God and our community with love and faithfulness. That’s why we’re asking you to consider donating to the ACF on a regular basis. By setting up a standing bank order, you can help us plan our budget and resources more effectively. It’s easy and secure, and you can cancel or change it anytime. Thank you for your generosity and God bless you!
