Cake Tins : A number of cake tins/containers were left after the Sunday School Coffee Morning. These may be collected from the Vestry.
Sunday 20 December : This will be the last Sunday this year for the Sunday School and Youth Fellowship and consequently morning worship will take the form of a Family Carol Service.
Members of the Créche, Sunday School and Youth Fellowship will be involved in the service
After the service the Créche, Sunday School and Youth Fellowship will be providing a Soup and Mince Pie Lunch in the Church Hall.
It is hoped that members of the congregation will support our younger members in these activities.
A letter has already been sent to a special guest inviting him to make an appearance and he has written back saying he hopes to attend.
Door Duty / Readers : Door Duty volunteers are sought to give a welcome greeting to people as they come into the church and to take up the offerings. Readers would read the lessons during services. If you would be willing to help with either or both of these duties please see Donna McEwan or Bill Marshall.
