Our parish Christmas raffle
will be drawn after the carol service on the 18th December. Tickets
available now £1 each
Next Sunday, 11th December, we would be grateful for
donations of good quality unwanted toys
and games. These will be taken as usual to less fortunate children.
We have decided to make changes to the magazine. It has had the same format for many years and we feel it
is rather outdated. The plan is that, from February, the magazine will be
produced once every 2 months, and will be professionally printed in colour,
with photographs. We hope this will make the magazine more attractive. It would
be good if this can also be seen as an opportunity for more people to
contribute to the magazine. When did you last put something in the magazine? If
people wrote about events they have been to, for example, this would make the
magazine more representative of life in our parish.
