Today, Good Friday, the Church of St James the Less in Northfield, Illinois received a request from the chaplain at the local hospital.  She wanted 50-100 crosses to give to those who are sick with the coronavirus, for them to hold.  Rev Lisa contacted Sue & Simon Babbs, who had 88 paper bead crosses and 12 wooden crosses in stock to sell on behalf of the Diocese when visiting churches etc.  It is lovely to have been able to provide comforting crosses to those who are seriously ill to remind them of Jesus’ presence with them, and at the same time to raise funds for the Diocese from St James the Less.
