Service at Cathedral to mark work of Bury Drop In

On Sunday, October 8, at 4.30pm, a special service will take place at St Edmundsbury Cathedral to celebrate the ongoing work of Bury Drop In amongst the homeless and vulnerably housed.

The service, led by the Dean of St Edmundsbury and the chair of the Bury Drop In Trustees, will include prayers to remember the lives of those who have died in the past year from the Bury Drop In community.

Bury Drop In is a Christian charity, supported broadly by churches across the town and sustained by numerous local businesses, volunteers and organisations, including West Suffolk Council and Bury Town Council, that exists to care for and serve the homeless and vulnerably housed in Bury S. Edmunds.

The Rev Robert Green, chair of trustees, says: “It is really important to Bury Drop In that we are part of a wider community’s response to a deepening crisis of homelessness and housing.

“Churches, businesses, our local council, the agencies we work with, volunteers and so many supporters make this vital work as special as it is. We are grateful for our relationship with St Edmundsbury Cathedral who are hosting the service as we celebrate Bury Drop In as an expression of the compassion of God.”

The service will include music, readings and prayer and is open to all.
